Well, for starters? Daddy wasn't the only one circling the void. There were three. [He holds up three fingers.] You've got the Mother, the Father, and Death- the great equalizer and that uncle that no one wants to invite to the family reunions. If you wanna get technical? All three of 'em shaped the world. God's in His Heaven, Mom's in her Purgatory, and Death's everywhere. All three of 'em in balance? Everyone goes home happy. If they're not... [Gabriel clicks his tongue] Well, you get a whole lot of what's happening right now. Death's always got things under control and when the time comes? He'll reap Daddy and Mommy both, but until that day, he's just sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the twins to calm the fuck down for two seconds.

So. With Daddy you've us and humanity. With Mommy, you've got the monsters. And Death's got his brother Horsemen- think of 'em like extensions of himself. They're just parts of the same whole... I mean, when you get down to it? What do War, Famine, and Pestilence really do, hm? And everything's fine.

'Til now.
