Chapter Text
Prologue:
Shiro couldn't hear the lullaby. As she opened her eyes, it seemed like everything around her had turned red. The sky was red, the buildings were red, her claws were red. Wait...claws? Shiro took a closer look at her hands, seeing that they were now long, crimson talons, not unlike a bird's. Her arms and the rest of her body were covered in red and white feathers.
"W-w-what's happened to me!?", she stuttered in horror. Staggering to her now avian feet, Shiro dashed towards a nearby puddle. Instead of her own reflection, she saw a demonic looking bird staring back at her. Shuddering, with tears spilling from her eyes, Shiro started caterwauling.
"I'm a monster!", the girl wailed, "I'm a monster on the outside now too! This is what I get for what I did to Ganta and all those people!"
Her crying was met with an indignant yell. A tall, white, humanoid spider stomped into the alley way.
"Hey, can it, bitch! Ya gonna scare away all my customers!"
Shiro jumped, backing up against the brick wall.
"No, stay away!", she begged.
"Well that's new," the spider quipped, "Most people can't seem to get enough of me. I'm guessing you just got dropped down here, didn't ya?"
"Who are you, Mister?," Shiro asked, still tense and trembling, "Where are we?"
"Ain't it obvious?," the spider man asked sarcastically, "This is Hell, little birdie, and you're lookin' at Hell's biggest and sexiest porn star, Angel Dust"
