It deplores regulatory stupidity, such as warning labels on strollers reading "remove child before folding."

All seven Archangels of the Presence do as much, sometimes even without orders - whether it's redirecting a lovesick princess, encouraging a terrified hero, or dealing with an amulet-wielding old man who's compelling an unlikely service from the angel least likely to give it. But after a brutal attack during one assignment, Gabriel starts getting touchy and harder to deal with.
