Gabriel Page #5

---

from our little family.

You could take him on your own.

l grow weary of your hesitation.

There are others just like him,

but they are broken,

some beyond repair.

The only resolve will be

once they are all dead.

l need him to bring them out,

show them they can shine

just bright enough for all of us to see.

Then l am mistaken.

Yes, you are.

And, if you ever question such things again,

l will rip your tongue out and paint my name

in blood across your back.

l see you have some friends here.

Would you mind introducing me?

-l missed you.

-You've missed Amitiel, not me.

They're not as different as you think.

You don't get it, do you?

Everything here works against us, Gabe.

We fall prey to the things

we never even knew.

Fear, hate,

the very things that make him,

make all of them, stronger.

Do we not have the compassion

to overcome this?

l honestly don't think so.

The city itself is the best defense they have.

What are you thinking about?

l think l'm hungry.

What is this place?

Soup kitchen. They help the homeless.

We can't eat here.

These people need food more than us.

ln case you hadn't noticed, we're

kind of desperate ourselves. Come on.

-Want bread?

-Yeah.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Do you know the guy who served us?

Does he seem familiar?

-No.

-Well, he's been here a long time.

That's lthuriel.

Another who surrendered to the fear.

And after he'd heard of my fate,

he chose exile over confrontation.

l can't...

Don't be so ardent to judge others, Gabriel.

You haven't been here long enough

to earn that right.

l don't intend to either.

How can you turn your back on us like this?

You swore an oath.

Am l the bad guy here?

You want to point this f***ing thing at me?

After all we've done for you people!

Gabriel, stop! Give him back the gun.

He's just doing his job.

What a shame you can't do yours.

Am l the only one who still believes

in this cause? Am l?

l'm doing the best l can.

Well, what else was l supposed to do?

l would've been killed.

lt's the risk we take. All of us.

l don't have your strength, Gabriel.

l thought l did, but l was wrong.

l'm doing the absolute best l can, here.

l'm still trying to help these people.

With a soup kitchen?

That is this big, compared to

what you're supposed to do.

Kill the Fallen. Bring back the light.

Go home.

lt's not that f***ing hard, lthuriel.

Well, if it was so easy,

then why are you here?

Why have the six of us before you failed?

l'm doing the best that l can.

l'm sorry.

lt's good to see you.

Raphael is here.

Take me to him.

These passages lead under the entire city.

We found them

when we were setting up the soup kitchen.
