Oh, I'm quite alright. Took a bit of an injury from an unrelated incident, but that's already sorted back out.

[ Assuming the feathers grow back in properly. ]

Thank you for asking.

[abrightboy]

I'm glad. I wish I could have figured him out sooner, so he would have had fewer victims. I hate to see him end up with more.

As humanity goes, free will is very much a blessing. But consequences for ill use do ripple outwards to everyone else. Fall into a communal sort of sense of duty. It's a kindness to provide a shield against those most dangerous edges day to day, where we can. If we can. And I do certainly appreciate having not been murdered.

I hope that wish doesn't continue to weigh too heavily on you, though. As much as it's worth to read it.

The weight of hypothetical reality is more than any one person ought to have to bear.

[ Sins of the father are generally the father's own. There's probably no nice or non-weird way to say "for the record there's literally no way he's not in hell" so Aziraphale will just not add that. ]

That's what Gil says. Not in those exact words, but, basically. The message.

[oldbookshop]

Then Gil is very sensible, and I'm glad that you already had him to say as much.

[abrightboy]

He’s the most sensible person I’ve ever known. Thank you. For following up. And caring.

[oldbookshop]

Not at all. Thank you for indulging an old worrier.

[abrightboy]

Come have tea some time. I’ll see you around in the meantime.
