"I can't lie by saying that Serina was an angel, she was anything but, however, I cannot deny that she gave me a reason to live", I replied to the reporter.
"And how exactly did she do that?", she replied sarcasm evident in her tone.
"By offering me the opportunity to torment you of course", I replied giving her an indirect answer to her question.

Serina is depicted as a young, educated, yet ruthless militant political leader, deeply involved in orchestrating killings and executions. Years before the main events of the story, Angel recalls an impactful encounter with Serina, where she was coerced into killing someone to save her own life. From that moment, Angel viewed Serina as her savior.
Although Angel encounters Serina multiple times, it becomes clear during a chance meeting in a hospital that Serina does not recognize her. Despite this, Serina's influence on Angel is profound, given her role as a prominent political figure who frequently makes headlines in a turbulent country. Their hospital meeting marks a turning point, as Serina seemingly grows close to Angel, speaking with her to the point of sharing a kiss.
From the outset, Angel is portrayed as vulnerable-a survivor of a suicide attempt, grappling with existential questions and the monotony of her life. Beneath the surface, Angel seems to sense her own impending death, not from natural causes but from an inevitable fate. Before her demise, Serina makes Angel promise to carry on her political work, granting Angel a sense of purpose and bringing closure to Serina's own journey.
The story concludes with Angel having risen to prominence, fulfilling the path Serina envisioned for her. Now a formidable political figure herself, Angel admires a young opponent in the same way Serina once admired her-but with one stark difference: Angel wants this new rival dead.
