When Leila travelled to the human world, she would research on the livings and the trends that were occurring. She had to keep track of such factors and report it back to the Heads. She would often purchase certain products as samples for further study. Her interest in watch started when she came across the first watch shop built on Earth.

It was during one of her journeys when she travelled as usual to buy materials for Tyler. Every time she went there, there were major changes made and it seemed like a new place each time.

The first thing that caught her eye was a shop which was similar to others but displayed unique products that she had never seen before which she later learned it as a watch.

Out of curiosity, she entered the shop and was amazed by the different types of watch that were displayed there. She had seen clocks but not the ones that had a small frame and a strap that could be worn on the wrist. It came in different size and designs. She observed the variety of choices available quietly until a clerk asked if she needed help.

Leila almost declined the offer but then she decided to request to learn how these watches are made. She knew it was not useful for Galaxians who could tell time based on instinct but she was curious to learn more.

The clerk told her that it might not be possible but she went to ask the owner of the shop anyways. Luckily, the owner allowed her to observe the creation of such watches.

"Would you like to make one?" the clerk offered.

Leila gave it a thought but declined politely. She was satisfied with just observing.

"Do you wish to purchase any?" Leila believed that it would not bring any harm in purchasing one so she went through the different collections. She purchased the one with brown leather strap.

As she was about to leave, she came across another watch that grabbed her attention. It was the watch with a black leather strap and gold frame. She thought it would look good on Tyler so she decided to buy that as well.

Leila arrived back at Galax but could not find Tyler anywhere. Tyler would usually wait for her at the return port but it had been long since he last picked her up.

She knew he would be busy building new infrastructures but she was still a bit disappointed to not find him there. She had been gone to the human world for a long time and noticed that a lot had changed in Galax.

She decided to teleport to where Tyler was to pass him his goods. Angels had the ability that all Galaxians envied and that was to be able to transport to anywhere upon their wish.

She arrived at the incomplete building which was piled with materials required for the latest project by Tyler.

"Leila! You are back!" Tyler exclaimed as he rushed towards her. She smiled and wiped off the dust on his face as he approached her.

"This is for you."

She gave him the bag which had the required materials that he requested and a box.

"What's this?"

He took the box out curiously and opened it to see an unfamiliar item inside. He looked at Leila puzzled.

"It's called a watch which can tell the time. Something new in human world. Although we can tell time easily, I thought it work as an accessory. I bought one as well.""

She held up her hand and showed him her watch which was wrapped around her wrist. Tyler was definitely amazed by it and wore it on his wrist as well.

"Good then! I needed to keep track of my time anyways. My alarm doesn't seem to be working these days."

Leila squinted her eyes. It was never good if a Galaxian had been having difficulty telling the time. Fatigue and malnutrition were usually the main cause of such issue.

"Don't overwork yourself," she told him worriedly which resulted in him laughing. He told her not to worry and that he will be fine. He observed the watch and it was just his style.

"You are really good at choosing."

She folded her arms in confidence and had a smug on her face.

"I'm really grateful for this! I'll only take it off if our friendship breaks which would be never!" he exclaimed and jumped around excitedly. His statement made her happy as well. It meant a lot to her.

Realising that there was no time to spare, she asked if there was anything else to purchase. He passed her a piece of paper that had a list of items required for the next project written on it. She scanned through it and raised her eyebrow.

"That's a lot."

Tyler sighed and nodded.

"Exactly my point. I wish I could just have your wings and teleport to the human world myself."

He sounded so serious that Leila stiffened when she heard it. Wings were a sensitive topic for Leila. She never really liked to hear anyone mentioning it.

He cleared his throat and laughed, "I was just joking. I know wings are everything to an Angel."

She just laughed it off. She believed he wouldn't eye on her wings or anything but why did he sound serious and what was that feeling that she felt when he said that.

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

Bad intuition always meant something. It was true that Tyler had been acting weird lately. He had been pressuring Leila to purchase more than required amount of materials. His excuse would be that he could use it in the next project. She figured that it was not completely unreasonable so she just do as he said.

She realised that something was really off with Tyler when he was seen shouting at the helpers for taking a long time to complete the attraction.

He had never treated anyone this way before and he seemed to be losing his temper way too many times for someone who had control over himself.

He had also been making way too many mistakes in his duties and had been caught several times trying to teleport to Earth. He would always be found in his office building new things or coming up with new projects.

He was rarely seen outside of his office and if he had been seen, he would be seen trying to travel to the living world. In the end, he ended up being locked in his office as a punishment.

Leila did not know what had changed him. She could not just leave him like that. So, she decided to check up on him after completing her duties.

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

Leila teleported to his office and knocked on his door but she didn't receive any response.

"Tyler? Can I come in?"

She decided to enter the room in the end as she was worried that something might have happened to him.

The sight she saw the moment she entered the room was extremely shocking. The room was filled with paintings of feathers and wings of angels.

The door behind her was closed shut and locked.

"Oh Leila! Glad to see you here. How do you like my paintings?" Tyler asked her in excitement. He hummed and hanged another painting of wings on the space available.

Leila was creeped out by every painting and the way Tyler was behaving. His every move sent chills down her spine. He seemed way too different. It was not the Tyler she knew.

"What's wrong, Leila? You seem stiff," he chuckled but it seemed fake and dry. He sounded like he was mocking her instead.

She coughed out a dry laughter, trying to relax herself and turned her head around to avoid eye contact with him. It was a rainy night so Tyler need not work on his duty. That was probably why he was busy painting.

"Have you finished painting the one for our Rose Garden?"

"Oh I almost forgot about that one," he laughed. Leila felt strange as Tyler would never forget about his paintings and it was the one he had been talking about proudly all the time.

She felt something grabbed hold of her wings. She flapped her wings to get rid of what was holding onto her and turned around.

The thunder struck at that time as the lightning flashed across the room. Tyler had his gun out and darkness filled in his eyes.

He grinned evilly and pointed the gun at her. He slowly parted his lips and said the words Leila wished was not true, "Let me have your wings."
