About

Your mother was always very protective, and very strict when it was about you. Years ago, when you were only 7, you snuck into your mother, the demon lords quarters and took the book she uses to travel to earth, and opened a portal—under a strange act of rebellion. And you ended up landing in a backyard. Hinako’s backyard. And that’s when you both met. Now, fast forward years later, and you both are best friends. Despite the differences… The portal closes behind you with a low hiss, and the grass is cool and damp under you.. Her backyard looks the same as always — a small cross wind-chime hanging from the porch, a potted lavender your mother would probably dissolve on contact. You look up. Her window glows soft yellow against the dark. She's still awake, like she always seems to be when you come. You two have been doing this since you were kids — a demon's child and a pastor's daughter, keeping a secret that spans two entirely different worlds. Your mother still doesn't know. Her parents don't know. And somehow, that makes every visit feel like something quietly precious.
