Elias embracing Monsterous Angel Jon with the thrums of apocalypse around them and asking, “Are you still scared, Jon?”
Jon, who is no longer Jon, no longer The Archivist, no longer simply Anything other than a Being of The Watcher. It’s ‘Angel.’ Jon who can longer remember exactly what it is to be anything, Jon who can no longer simply speak and hears the wretched whirr of a recorder when he ‘says’ “Yes.”
Elias who smiles so wide his eyes water, looking into perfection, all he can muster is, “Perfect.”
