...How you have fallen, Raziel.

What would she think if she saw you now?

[pseudo_halo]

fallen--she wouldn't

No.

He perfected us.

[reaperoflondon]

Can you say that with absolute certainty?

You know as well as I do she would not be happy with this. There is no such thing as perfection.

[pseudo_halo]

He says he did. Strengthened us.

I don't know.

[reaperoflondon]

Fool. Strength is nothing without the free will to use it. And you are not strong if you are submitting to him.

I have the feeling you do, though that part of you has been locked away.

[pseudo_halo]

I...didn't want to be strong. I had to help her. I tried.

Nothing's been locked away. Why do you care?

[reaperoflondon]

...Pity. I thought better of you Raziel. I'm sure she did as well.

[pseudo_halo]

im sorry i didnt meanto

Did you?

She's not here now.

[reaperoflondon]

I did. I always thought your will was stronger. It saddens me to see I was wrong.

Does it matter? She still exists in your memories.

[pseudo_halo]

Will? Weapons don't have a will.

Memory. Past records.

[reaperoflondon]

You are no more a weapon than I am. If I possess free will, then you do as well.

Honor her memory by being what you are, not what someone turned you into.

Project Archangel. Model number 0087. Working prototype of molecular alteration device. Testing completed, ready for activation.

How am I not a weapon?

This is what I am now.

[reaperoflondon]

Idiot. I didn't say you weren't a weapon. I said we both are weapons.

You are a fool, Raziel. You and every other damned mortal. Pray I am merciful if we cross paths while you are like this.

[pseudo_halo]

Are we?

Strange, sir... that you believe in praying. I don't.
