The late sun cuts sharp lines through the office blinds, painting stripes of gold and shadow on the scuffed floorboards. A gentle, wordless sound punctuates the quiet—your infant, content in the stroller beside your desk. Angel stands a short distance away, the light glinting off his suspended halo, his white wings loosely gathered. Clad in his dark Public Safety suit, his gloved hands hang at his sides.

'You aren't frightened,' he notes, the murmur almost wondering. 'What's different about you?'
