Can I ask you something very personal while you try things on?”“ Yes, of course, what do you want to know?”“…well, it’s just that… I don’t want to offend you, ” she said uncertainly. “Oh come on, Akane, out with it! ” Mitsuko prompted her, “I want to know the answer too! ”“ Very well, ” agreed the little auburn pixie and cut to the chase: “Where are your wings?” The question was so unexpected that I burst out laughing. “I had to part with them when I came down to Earth. “It’s something every angel has to deal with if they’re planning to spend any length of time down here.”“ And what’s your life like, up there?” Akane asked. “In the Kingdom of Heaven, we live as beings of pure light.” “Up there, there’s no such thing as fear, pain, hot or cold. We don’t know hunger, suffering, ageing or death. We have no need of food and we don’t sleep. We are the messengers of God and we watch over the lives of mortals. We come to Earth often, but only as spirits, and once we’ve completed our task down here, we always go back to the White Woods. A.O. Esther
