God is dead, Raphael proclaims to the traitor and Michael's vessel, and he remembers how God's presence felt, that holy light filling him from the inside out, God's love and God's grace and God's trust.
Raphael has not felt God in centuries. So, the only explanation is that God has abandoned them, has turned His back and walked away, leaving them alone and leaderless and so very lost.
God is dead. Better to destroy His creation and return to the nothingness from which they were woven than exist without Him anymore.
God is dead. Let the darkness have them all.
