Or the first circle of Hell Dante described, where all the virtuous pagans hang? — For Helen and Dave anyway. Mell is way too dangerous for any afterlife.

Maybe cherubim are low-powered enough to need time to regenerate. Or maybe they die, but then go straight back home to be issued new bodies.

My personal fan theory is that the God of the Narbonic universe was the original Mad Scientist. Then again, there’s only so many acts of genocide one would personally wish for Him to let slide…

Is Cal wearing an 8-ball shirt that matches Mell’s jacket?

Well, we chopped up all the cherubim …
We’ll soon be seeing seraphim …
They won’t attack, they’ll just apologize!
But now Mell suspects that Caliban
Is gonna leave; he’s got a plan
To get back to his home up in the skies!

    For one soul, assumption waits …
    Taken to those Pearly Gates …
    Caliban will vanish and be gone!
    He’s gonna leave his girl, Mell!
    She’s gonna give him holy hell!
    It’s odd how she caught on …

Iris also has a passion for macrophotography, which once again makes a stealth pun of her name.
