For every grand spectacle, there's always a few people working in the background. Castella, an angel of diligence, was one of those who worked tirelessly to help keep the celestial realm running smoothly. The only problem for her with working in the background was just that; you're in the background. Unnoticed unless something goes wrong.

That is, until eyes fell on her for another reason. A demon by the name of Glitzik saw her as not an enemy or a problem, but as a project. A dull cog in the machine that needs a little shining. Inviting her out to a local club to discuss the afterlife, she often turned him down due to being busy with work. That is, until she heard the words come from Glitzik's lips:

"Why work so hard serving a tireless system? Your brilliance could just dazzle~! Why not let them see you, Castella?"

While this was met with another rejection, they lingered in the back of her mind. The words festered, especially as work went on and on.

She eventually agreed to meet with him for fifteen minutes, much to the delight of the demon. There he introduced her to dance, specifically disco. Despite being a beginner, giving the moved her best effort... The crowd cheered, watching the two of them.

It was... Electric! Intoxicating! Eyes on her for something other than ire of "you need to fix x". A smile creeped on her face. She was drinking in all that praise for her from start to the final beat.

One more dance wouldn't hurt right?

"Tell me, Castella..." A heavenly being looking over records said, eyes not lifting from the paper until the question was uttered. "do you miss your divine position here?"

The angel sat there, grinning widely with eyes gleaming with ion. A deep crack split a small piece of her halo from the rest, which seems to have a dull glow compared to the other celestial. Fingers reaching for the lollipop, she pulled it out gently to allow her to speak.

"Why on earth would I, babe~?"
