Synopsis[]
In the theater, April reacts with astonishment as she realizes that the Angel is real. Introducing herself as Gabrielle, she tells April that she is as real as the manacle on her ankle. April cuts the angel free and asks why she would allow herself to be captured by a man and Gabrielle says that she wanted to experience the beautiful world for herself. As April cuts the chain, she asks if Gabrielle considers that to be beautiful as well.
As the ball drops to usher in the New Year, Gabrielle says that man thinks only of tomorrow and never of today. Thus, they never see the beauty that surrounds them. Departing on those words, Gabrielle takes wing and disappears as the clock strikes midnight.
Going home, April considers Gabrielle’s words and notices that in her haste to get a story, she missed out on seeing her roommate, Oyuki, on New Years. April heads straight to a bar and continues pondering what Gabrielle meant by the beauty of man and the present they ignore.
