"If you love me.... Then….. Will you forgive me?" Gabriel asked. "No matter what?"
Baphie nodded. "Yes. Even if you killed one of my Archons, that's fine."
"Even if I….. tried to start a war to overthrow you?" Gabriel asked. "Along with all the angels?"
Baphie's eyes widened. "Is that what you were actually planning all along? A revolution?"
Gabriel nodded. "It's foolish. I realized that now. But the angels fully believed in me….. They're expecting me to kill you. They think that I could be the new ruler of the Worlds. But I don't actually want that, I just....."
He went to hug Baphie. "I wanted to see you again. After all those years since we first met, since the end of the First War. I loved you since then."
