absolutely in love with the idea that gabriel is like, such a cool guy. he's kind, caring, he's laborious and most importantly dutiful. he is the perfect representation of all that is divine and lesser angels and husks alike look up to him
but whenever the MACHINE is present or even just vaguely mentioned he devolves into angry hysterics and any kind of dignity gets thrown out the window
i guess you can read this as him always having a knack for carnage and combat but his status as an angel causes him to repress those emotions… until he finally met someone that enables him to show his true colors
