Chapter 696

• Why the angels had brought Yosepha, Mia could not understand. But then, why had they played music and sung as a choir? What madness had driven them to make such a grandiose and pointless display? Maybe they'd thought to prove to Galon the weight of their intentions? Maybe they'd thought a show of strength would convince Mia to simply surrender? Or maybe the angels were simply archaic, and could only operate in methods as ridiculous as a choir announcing their approach, while literally carting around a display of their faith to their god.
• Wherever God had gone to, they weren't here. No one saved the angels as more of them were swept up in the hellfire. No one cared about the demons incinerated by the flames.
• Mia cared, but the song could not be denied. The silent music drowned her, and her emotions, her desires, were but tiny fish in the waves.
