Seraphim are still living in this world. Peacefully, some even happily; and he can feel it, beneath his feet, that there is a beautiful purity to the world that wasn't there before. Even without the Shepherd's pact, he can feel it.
Tears spring to Sorey's eyes and he covers his face, embarrassed. Just the sight of Dezel's back, the faint smile on his face as he brought the bird home, finally, finally hammered it into Sorey's still-dreamy head.
It worked.
Sorey hiccups. It worked. Going to sleep for a thousand years worked, and though there is still corruption, still human society to think about, the world itself is no longer diseased.

It was all worth it.]
