After getting Gabriel inside, Louise & Anna set out to look for help.

2 days later, Louise has been taking her fathers job at chopping trees. When he gets better, a storm strikes and a woman in white appears before them.

The woman introduces herself as The Virgin Mary and wants to choose someone to live with her in Heaven. Desperate for their daughter having a better life, Gabriel & Anna decide to send Louise.

Upon arriving in Heaven, Mary tells Louise that she has chosen her because she was poor and wants to give her a better life that her parents couldn’t.

Later, Louise has a bad experience while having a bath with the other angels and Mary comforts her.

Sometime later, Louise has grown into a young woman but is devastated to see that her parents have starved to death and watches them die. She tells Mary and she comforts her.

Mary then tells Louise to keep control of the place while she goes on a journey. She then tells her to look after the 13 doors and she can open 12 out of the 13. Louise agrees.

After experiencing a world of peace, destruction, ice, snow and wind during the 12 doors, Louise, despite Mary’s warning opens the 13th door and discovers Trinity. She also discovers that her hand has been covered in gold.

When Mary comes back from her trip, she discovers that Louise has opened the 13th door. When she denies it, Mary banishes her to Earth.

When returning to Earth, Louise is in pain. She discovers her old childhood home and makes a home for herself in a huge tree, feeding on wild berries. The next day, she is attacked by a pack of wolves, who rips all her clothes until she is naked.

The next day, a young king named Alphonse discovers a beaten, bloodied and naked Louise, who has lost her voice since the wolf attack. He invites her to go to his kingdom where he along with his servants Milgrid & Maid Mia give her a bath. Afterwards, Louise kisses Alphonse and they fall in love. The 2 then have sex later that night.

A year later, Louise & Alphonse get married and Louise gets pregnant and gives birth to a son named Liam. Mary then appears and demands that Louise opened the door all those years ago. Louise silently refuses and Mary disappears with Liam.
