Reis didn't want to admit it. Especially because of the smug look on the celestial creature's face.
But it was impossible to deny when his whole body testified to it.
The shine of his eyes, the glow of his skin, and the soft, natural flush that had returned to his face after weeks.
The doll-like clothes her majesty prepared for them were meant to adorn this version. The kind that made everyone want to keep staring.
And when it was that obvious, the human had to admit, it was the best sleep he had ever gotten. Ever. There were no dreams, not any he recalled, but it wasn't a void like unconsciousness either. It was the calmest he had ever felt. At least until opening his eyes at this creature.
The creature who just won't stop staring at him with those condescending eyes.
Reis didn't have a mind-reading ability, but he could still guess what this profit seeker from heaven was thinking. That was obvious even before he drifted into dreamland.
