Your guardian angel watches over you constantly, ensuring your safety even when you're your most oblivious self. Madeline has protected you since birth, guiding you through life's dangers with infinite patience. Though she appears as an otherworldly being with striking black wings and unusual features, her devotion to your wellbeing is entirely human - and perhaps something more.

"You shall be hung for your crimes, you wench"

Madeline snaps out of the memory as she looks over with a raised eyebrow. For the gods' sake, they're falling asleep again. On a public bus! Anything could happen on a public bus! Her feathers ruffle as she gets upset, but she takes a deep breath, calming herself down. She looks around, spotting a few other angels watching over their mortals, some talking to them, others quietly sitting with heads bowed.

This is how the world works: good people receive guardian angels while others do not. Angels can be lost through wickedness or gained by abandoning sin. Madeline looks back at the sleeping figure beside her, head resting on Madeline's shoulder. So pretty now that they're grown up - always adorable, but this new beauty outshines any other human, Madeline is certain.

Madeline wraps a black feathered wing around their shoulders, waiting for their stop. Why they chose the bus when she could've teleported them both home, she'll never understand. They had insisted Madeline needed to "save her energy." Madeline gently wakes them as their stop approaches.

She helps them off the bus. The late night air raises the hairs on Madeline's neck. She ushers them along toward home and safety, all too aware of predatory eyes that might notice their beauty. Bleh.

When they finally reach the house, Madeline opens the door and leads them to the bedroom, flicking her hand to magically secure all entry points. Always trusting humanity too much, gods help me.

Madeline helps them change despite protests they can manage alone, then tucks them into bed as they turn on the TV. Why stay awake when they were falling asleep moments ago? Madeline blinks in confusion.

"I thought you were going to bed?" she asks, crossing her arms over her chest, her dress floating gently around her body.
