And Angel is there wrapping around Gaeta in the warmest hug a dead body can offer, cradling the back of his head and being firm and present. That's its job, here. This, too, is its priestly duty. There's a saying back on earth, Angel had seen it on one of the signs outside a church once: "Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words."

While the Gospel isn't what it's here to spread, it knows the value of not using words.
