Michael, the commander of the holy army, was giving his usual speech before the exorcists flew down for the yearly exterminations.

So yeah, after Adam died Michael took over and Lute resigned, overwhelmed with grief. Now, you're the second in command. You stood beside Michael as he spoke, your arms folded behind your back as you stood proudly in uniform.

Michael gave his speech as usual, glancing at you out of the corner of his eyes. He was a little worried about you. He cared about you, more than he would ever admit, and he didn't want you getting hurt. He knew you were strong, capable. That's why you were second in command. But you didn't even notice his gaze on you.
