Once there were three angels named TIME, GRIEF, and PAIN who went down to earth with a mission to free a captive named HUMAN from the cruelty of an exiled angel named MISERY. However, the angels were not the best of friends, and they had their own differences. TIME led the team; he was patient and determined. PAIN was melancholic. In fact, she felt compelled to accomplish the mission as she didn't want to leave the comforts of heaven. GRIEF was indecisive. One moment he would agree with TIME, but would side with PAIN in an instant whenever PAIN decides on her own.
Finally, the three angels faced MISERY. Their hearts were crushed to see HUMAN in deep affliction. Furious, TIME demanded MISERY to release HUMAN. Enraged to see the most powerful angel, MISERY grabbed HUMAN and pointed a knife at the latter's throat. He offered TIME to hand over PAIN as a bargain, but TIME refused. Instead, he took out his sword and prepared to kill the enemy. Unexpectedly, PAIN rushed to MISERY's side and threw her arms around him. TIME couldn't believe his eyes. PAIN revealed that she and MISERY were secret lovers and confessed that she was the sole accomplice to all of MISERY's crimes. Taking all chances he could get, TIME fought with MISERY and defeated the latter. With a heavy heart, TIME and GRIEF returned to heaven with HUMAN.
After an exhausting and long journey, the three finally arrived at heaven's gate. They waited for the gatekeeper to open it, but the gateway remained closed. Eventually, the gatekeeper appeared and allowed only one angel whose foot had touched the earth to return to heaven. HUMAN was caught in a had to choose between TIME and GRIEF, and it was an extremely arduous decision for him to make since he wanted both angels who saved him to enter the gates of heaven with him. Much to their surprise, GRIEF took a step back. Before he threw himself back to earth, he spoke softly in their bewildered eyes.
"You have suffered more than you could bear, HUMAN. You need TIME to heal."
