I am glad that Zoss fed the angels their own butts and I hope someone does it to them again.

The only group of angels who hasn't made a play at controlling White Chain are the petal knights. We don't really know what their deal is, but given that the Thorns just killed one of their own I'm expecting them to show their hand soon.

Probably something like "gently caress the law let's get rich and wasted".

I don't think they would have an agenda as a whole. The RPG mentions that a petal knight is one who rejects the concordance and goes off to do their own thing, like being a mercenary a la Delicious.

Guessing White Chain is about to become a petal knight, albeit for a different reason than most.

Also, it's funny that the one defending humans as being not all bad is the closest to being human out of all of the speakers, save for having wings for a head and some weird proportions.

Nah, it's kind of the whole point, I think. White Chain's adoption of human mentality causes her to assume an especially human form. The sympathetic angel who relates more to humans than most is more human because he relates to humans.

That dramedy-mask-in-the-mirror angel with their visualizations of clay and death gives me strong vibes of Satan (son of Satan) from The Mysterious Stranger, or at least the animated version from The Adventures. of Mark Twain

Maybe every angel is in on Michael's plan, but have each been told they need to keep it secret from all of the other angels.

id say its just as likely that 2 Michael knows the other angels in the void are a bunch of hidebound dopes whose first reaction to everything is "hm, better run this past 2 Michael"

Somehow I suspect she won't go through with it, considering her appearance on the prophecy glass, but if she did, I have to wonder what her end-game here is. She just talked about how she wants to protect the world. I guess maybe she meant something different from "sapient life" when she said the world? Otherwise, she's basically acting in direct contradiction to what she just said, unless she has some unangellically devious plan in mind.

Indeed. And I suspect she's displaying a lot of other atypical qualities for an angel here, between her intense emotional outburst and her dramatic revision of her form. These could be interpretted as being very ironically human actions on her part.

Accepting Michael's offer, as distasteful as it may be, is probably the right move for her. At the very least it buys her some more time to figure out how to deal with Michael and the thorns. It also puts her in a position to help guide and protect Alison along the way to wherever she ends up going, which seems to be something that is still important to White Chain judging by her reaction to Michael telling her she would have to kill her if necessary.

Yeah, her options are this, or waiting for millennia for another body and possibly getting REALLY dead while someone with less sympathy for Allison or restraint goes in her place anyways.

Same. Lucky for us, non-existence is timeless by definition, so even if you do get murdered you'll be alive again somewhere/somewhen else pretty much immediately.

She will probably do a full heel turn at some point, and there will be flirtation with a face turn deeper down the line.
