And sends him down there to see it first hand.

He has to have his angel powers as thats the Point Stratt is trying to Make that hes Needed- but im debating if Simon is the only one who can actually See him. Moments of holy light in the dark corners of Eden, of the prison, of the Iron Lung. Intervening in cowardly slivers, not enough to reveal himself, enough to keep Simon going. Time is weird for the Angel, he only can grab moments, not the whole picture. Not without embedding himself in the world, and claiming it as his. He can't bring himself to do that. He's scared. He's a terrible angel, yet Simon breathes his praise every day for those moments he gave him hope. He only has the courage when they seal his human into a death trap.

Feel like this will end in some sort of yoinking of Simon into an angel-made version of the Hail Mary. A clean, pristine space craft built in isolation away from all the suffering. Or maybe its THE Hail Mary but in this world the whole crew died, and its just an empty spot for Grace to place his favorite wayward soul. Maybe Grace just starts collecting travelers and aliens and children who he feels need his (clumsy but kind and determined) help, finding a world for them. (Tau Ceti system? Erid? Idk this idea is only just forming. I think Planet Adrian could be cool to explore as a concept.)
