Beatrici was Corvo's sister, but she was stubborn: to anyone who asked, she called him "that boy I found in the woods up Shindaerey" rather than her brother, and to those who asked why he called her sister, she said it was a lie he liked to tell. It always left him with a bilious, stomach-cramping irritation. It wasn't a lie. She was his. He'd known her name, had known it in his bones.
But Beatrici didn't like that he never seemed to grow, didn't like that this worried their parents into sleepless, whispering nights, and liked least of all that he always sat at the table with an empty plate, watching them, and only ever ate alone.

Summary
Sometime during their unstoppable descent into the realm of the damned, it became apparent to V1 that they are merely a chess piece, moving at the hands of an unseen player; one that is swiftly closing in on the other for a resounding checkmate. At the very end of Hell, Gabriel loses his final match with the machine that unwittingly broke the shackles he had noticed far too late.
Rather than putting an end to his existence, V1 instead takes the opportunity to shatter the board and stop the game.
In the aftermath, both machine and archangel are left standing in the settling dust of the collapsed echelons of creative order. But a scorched earth isn't always the end. Something will eventually grow from the ashes of utter destruction, if given the chance.
