I'm not on trial here! This is a witch hunt!

I wonder what it would be like to be sitting in a bar one night and at the next table there were three guys having a really intense conversation. Three buddies, Mike, Gabe, and Luke, who've known each other forever, since back in the old neighborhood. After all this time, would there still be anger? Would there still be blame for that one awful day, for Luke's one huge, terrible mistake, for which he can never be forgiven? Would Mike be mad at Luke for trying to be big man on campus or would he be mad because he'd been required to turn on his best friend? Or after all this time, would there just be weariness, a tired resignation to the way things are and ever will be? What do angels and demons talk about when they meet in human form? This has always fascinated me, as I've always assumed that before the Fall, the Archangel Michael, the Archangel Gabriel, and the Archangel Lucifer had been best friends. Assuming angels even have friendships.
