While listening to Perfect Circle's "Annihilation," I had the most profound image in my head.

I've always loved music box melodies, like the kind you hear in little jewelry boxes and one that usually has a ballerina dancing or something, remember? While listening to it, while the melody sounded innocent, the lyrics are quite dark and thus this image was spawned.

I could imagine this would be one of Seraphim's dreams. Chao, doll-size, dancing innocently, and him, gigantic in comparison, ready to snatch her up in his strong clutches, teeth and claws bared to take what he's always desired.
