One Week Later, Toronto, Canada
The Hale-Ferguson house had been awfully quiet for some days now.
After Gabriel's father died, the space god chose solitude and headed to his private residence back in Canada. His mother, brother and even Ambrose and Valentine struggled to get even a few minutes of communication with him.
Valentine especially knew how broken his old friend was.
Sure, his father had been a monumental asshole, and his suggestion for dealing with him at one point always involved dropping him in the Mariana trench.
But that was before he was hospitalized. Before his son began visiting him at his most vulnerable moment.
From the updates Gabriel gave him, his relationship with the old man had been improving. He even called Ambrose Gabriel's boyfriend without making a confused face.
