Challenge: Regret
Notes/Warning: "I am Become Death" speculation. No warnings.
It’s not that he doesn’t have the strength. He has more than he needs, but the weight of regret immobilizes him, yet Gabriel promises to redeem himself. His promises are not for his benefit alone. Without his son, without the woman who once accepted him and gave him such a gift, he’d still be out there, killing people.
He looks into Noah’s eyes, and he sees her. His heart still aches in Elle’s absence, but he wants his promises to mean something tangible. Noah is living proof that someone once believed in him enough to give him this second chance.
