Does Gamaliel regret building the flesh prisons, or would they gladly do it again? And, furthermore, what do they think of the council?
their life was so void of freedom and agency that the flesh prisons are really all they have to be proud of — these great constructs mighty enough to hold prime souls — but they were still Used by the Council to make them for the Council’s own benefit, But ALSO if the prime souls are not locked up, the angels are all in danger.
BUT also. When creating the Prisons, Gamaliel is not exactly very aware on who the faceless, nameless people they are assisting to imprison Are. The Council blinds them so successfully that the humans who dared challenge Heaven’s rule are just that. Traitors, locked away before they could harm the angels.
learning about the prisoners might create sympathy, which could turn to conspiracy and betrayal (can’t have that)
Gamaliel doesn’t get to know the truth until they are free, the council is dead and they can finally learn who these faceless people they helped lock up Are
And just because they were forced to make the Prisons doesn’t free them from blame being placed on them which is justified but also not
Some people (maybe a certain Sisyphusprime) will never forgive them, which they do understand (they don’t really forgive themself either).
Oh an For theCouncil its like
I’d throw rocks at your head but you don’t even deserve the effort
the most hatred physically possible
