I had this funny idea when talking to one of my friends ( @krystlandotherstuff ) about Gabriel doing mitosis (don't ask) that relates to the holy light.
What if, like plants, angels grow and become more powerful the more holy light they receive from God? I think it could work, since Gabriel has been in heaven longer than God's disappearance and is incredibly strong compared to his other angel counterparts, who are younger and less experienced than he.
I think it's a good metaphorβ like when Gabriel had the light taken away, he was destined to wilt without the light.
