It's odd, isn't it? To call forth this memory? I suppose it must feel that way, but... I did it because I wanted to remember. [ He makes a gesture towards the conjuring before stepping towards her. ] You see, even in that state, I thought of the world.
[ Archangel pauses to open his hands. ] I thought of the people and how they must also be suffering. [ Not as much as me, but whatever. ]
