The priest asks the new archangel if he still has a "vague silence" . The new archangel replies that he does, and the priest asks him if he is mocking him. The priest replies that his bleeding wounds are "sweet" , and that his choice to remain in the "cursed pain" is not by his wil, but by God's will. He asks the archangel to tell his creatures that "those imperfect creations" will never abandon their "glorious sanctuary." The priest tells the archangel that he is afraid that he will not be able to return to the sanctuary. He tells him that the only person who will hear him out is the archangel. He says that he cannot stand by and "do nothing" while his "entire beings" are "disfigured." He asks if the archangel wants to know why he risked his life to save his. The archangel says he does not want to know, but the priest tells him to call him by "any name you want." He says he will get his life back
