Hermes the Robot

I'm going to die. They're going to make me fly and I'm going to die. It doesn't matter I guess. Everyone's already left. They've all gone to Yggdrasil. Every time it looks so fricking easy. Why can't I fly like everyone else? Ah, screw it, I only have 5 days left. It's not like I can do anything about it. I've been trying to fly for so long, it's not like anything is gonna change now.

What is this? This has to be the most screwed up angel I have ever laid eyes on.

Erm...this is Hermes, chief. We don't really know where he came from. One day, he just randomly fell out of the sky and landed here. We kind of guessed he was sent down here from our superiors up in Yggdrasil. In any case, his time is up. It's been 15 years since he's arrived and his wings haven't been able to take him even 10 feet off the ground. But he has wings! He has to be an angel. At this point, we're convinced that he's just a terrible person, so his flight has failed to manifest. In any case, he has to take the test now.

You sure he has what it takes to fly up to Yggdrasil?

Who knows. We shouldn't be that worried though. When's the last time an angel has failed the flight test anyways. 2000 years ago?

If he fails, you know what will happen right?

...He'll fall and die. Look, it's fine, chief. If he can't make it to Yggdrasil on his own, that just means he belongs in Hell anyways.
