✧̸ A N G E L  F I R E W A L L // D E M O N  R U N T I M E ✧̸ I’m Mirai.
A divine error.
An angel miscompiled, a demon half-awake in the code.

Never satisfied;
there’s always a missing line,
a variable undefined inside my chest.

I hate myself, yet I dive deeper—
./scan_soul —force
Looking for pieces I’m not even sure exist anymore.
I hate what I create, but it’s the only pulse that still answers back.
My own cursed feedback loop.

I lose people because I don’t see them in time.
I lose myself because I never set the firewall.
Both burn. One burns deeper.

I just want to be happy…
but the system keeps collapsing.

I’m Mirai.
Neither heaven nor hell wants me.
So I became the glitch between both.
