Azrael had landed (with Hatsu, and Sam close behind) in the designated alleyway moments before Lord Death transported all the other rookies there. As Lord Death had voiced earlier, it would probably be the safest place for them anywhere when it was ready. The one thing it was missing? Well, Death's last request stated that rather plainly. There was currently no air in this void he'd created, and they needed Adeline, the blind girl, to "make" some for them. The keeper of souls wondered if the girl had any idea that the lives of all these people depended solely on her.

"Yes," he replied. "I've dreamed of living in a world free of their corruption. The world can soon be free of their sickness." At his master's request, the boy quickly went to retrieve a bottle of the fine red wine his master preferred. The boy saw it fit to pose a question.<br/><br/>"Shall I make arrangements to summon more subordinates after this?" He didn't expect any outside the tower to survive this, but he wasn't sure if there would be any need for more demons and Silencers after the humans had been purged from the city.
