23화: 노엘은 헤일로 없이 가라앉는 것에 고전하고, 미카엘은 그녀의 천사적 길을 강요한다.

23

Without her halo, Noelle begins to inexplicably sink into the ground. As a countermeasure, Lucca attaches a large balloon to Noelle's back to keep her afloat. Raphael is as cavalier as ever about Noelle's decision, but Mikael vows not to give up on reigniting Noelle's desire to be an angel by reminding her of how far she's come already, although she is pointedly unreceptive, as she fears becoming an angel will prevent her from becoming close to Yuusuke once more. Upon her refusal, Mikael becomes enraged and severs the attachment to her balloon with a pair of scissors, causing Noelle to fall into the ground, the scissors nearly stabbing her. Yuusuke sees this and questions Mikael, who then demands that Yuusuke leave Noelle alone for good, as he is impeding her progress in becoming an angel. When Yuusuke tells Mikael to back off, he goes to Noelle's family instead, intending to convince them that her giving up on becoming an angel is detrimental to her life, and that they, as a fake family, should let her go and stop hindering her. This leads to the family disbanding, driving Noelle to seek council with Mikael, desperately hoping for a way to restore things with her family. As she attempts to put the halo back on, Noelle remembers the havoc it caused, and throws it out the window. As Noelle runs home, Raphael reveals Mikael's own halo, and asks him if he knows why it fell off, to which Mikael responds that he's the only one who can bring everything together (even at the cost of becoming a demon) and summons an electric guitar. Noelle cries herself to sleep, and when she wakes the next morning, the house has reverted to normal, and only her and Yuusuke remain. Finally, after finding Silky crying in her room atop a mountain of stuffed bears, Eros opens the mysterious top drawer, revealing an angel's halo. (Source: Wikipedia)
