    Summary

    The Councilor had said he had no more than a few hours; more than a day had passed. Though Gabriel could physically feel the power draining from him, death never came. Instead, he noted a strange gnawing in his stomach that grew by the hour, a foreign dryness to his mouth. Opening his groggy eyes, he peered down at the rippling water. His reflection was missing its halo and wings.

    But his mind hardly even processed the fact; he looked into the cool, clear water, and for the first time in the entirety of his existence, his body was begging him to drink.

    With dawning horror, Gabriel realized it. He was not dying—he was something worse.

    He was mortal.

    Forced to work together to survive in the harsh and increasingly empty landscape of Hell, Gabriel and V1 navigate desires neither of them were built to have, and learn how to find purpose in a purposeless world.

    Summary

    Gabriel let out an ugly bark of laughter and abruptly looked away, his hand rubbing against the front of his helm.

    “Machine,” he said in wry, twisted amusement, “you are far more likely to grow a soul. When a day comes that an object such as yourself possesses such a thing, will be the day an angel can live without Father’s light.”

    V1 knew a challenge when it heard one. It also knew it excelled at winning them.

    or;

    In Gabriel's final hours, he and V1 make a bet.
