Yet, as Livia delves deeper into this glittering life, she is confronted with profound questions that shake her to her core. Faced with a choice between the fleeting allure of wealth and a life of deeper meaning, she must navigate her path with courage and conviction. Will she choose the ephemeral beauty of riches or embrace a life of purpose and fulfillment?

"You show up day after night with no purpose than to see me. You do understand the consequences your actions bear, do you not?" Love, humanity's greatest gift and greatest curse. Whether to cherish it or to discard it is in the beholder's choice. But an unspoken rule whispers a warning to those who play its game: you love your own, your kin, they whom you live among. Once your adoration reaches for what it mustn't, it becomes sin; it devours the soul, it ravages the mind, and leaves nothing but devastation in its wake. "But I don't believe you've ever denied me the opportunity, Castiel. And you do understand the consequences of your actions, don't you?"
