Inorganic Angel Alexiel challenged the leadership of God (who had let his angels grow weak with lust and violence) and as punishment was separated into mind, body and soul. The body was killed, the soul encased in a crimson gem, and the mind re-incarnated as Setsuna, a human boy, Setsuna struggles with horrifying visions and supernatural powers. He loves his sister in a way that a brother shouldn't. Angels and demons flock to his awakening, spoiling for battle. Will Setsuna lead them to the apocalypse, or to salvation?
