[ he breathes another little laugh, startled, then shakes his head. ] No, neither of those things.
[ it's his turn to go quiet, contemplating how to explain something he doesn't even like examining on his own. to excuse the silence, he lifts his coffee to his lips again, more careful this time. when he sets it down, he looks a little dizzy-- his headache is still.. there, and he's starting to feel that familiar not-right-in-his-bones sensation, but he pushes it away as hard as he can. ]
So, best I understand it, a real long time ago, God left heaven. Left.. everything, just up and disappeared. Michael spent a long time looking, but He was nowhere around. [ he gently nudges his cup away to toy with his rings again, staring down at his hands as he picks the words he wants. ] Only.. twenty-eight years ago, I guess God got it into His head He wanted to try something new. So He took everything that made Him.. Him, and jammed it down into the shape of a human soul, and-- and let Himself just.. be born as a human. And His ma named Him Sunny.
[ his hands turn over and spread in a nervous shrug. ] Only I don't remember most of it. Bits and pieces sometimes, like.. like teaching Lucifer to Sing. Or holding the first star and what it felt like. .. And there's the things I.. see and.. know, sometimes.
