[Gray. The opening shot is all dim gray and dusky, a boring shot of a concrete wall stained with black ash, before too-bright blue-white light knifes through the picture again, causing horrible screaming static for a brief moment. Everything whirls before the PCD lands, now pointed up at a derelict ceiling. From far off, noise can be heard:

[Juliet gives her deepest and most respectful curtsy, keeping her head bowed. She has a vague idea of what the Lady must be feeling - her own sorrow when Tybalt was stolen away must be the barest shadow of emotion compared to an Angel of the Lord losing her brother.]

I am truly sorry, Lady Raphael.

Apologies are all but useless.

[capuletnomore]

If I could offer anything else, Lady, I would.

[She doesn't relax an inch, but she lets a few seconds lapse before giving her reply.]

There is nothing.

I know, Lady Raphael. The best I am able to offer is prayer, and that, I shall give freely and in abundance.

[She is genuinely sad about being unable to help, but what can a mere human do? She gives another deep curtsy.]

Then by all means, do so.

[She nods. That the archangel looks severe does not bother her. Such divine beings cannot be expected to act as humans would, and the Lady is not angry with her.]

I shall leave you in peace, Lady Raphael, with your permission.

[Raphael nods once, in dismissal.]

You have it.

[And she gives one final, formal curtsy before ending the feed.]
