"I find myself coming back here. To rest and to reflect. A home of sorts. Although, people like me don't have those. Haven't for quite a while. Ma...Pa...you gave up your dreams for a home. Now I ask myself, should I do the same?" - Raphael

Camael is much smaller compared to the rest. Gabriel is holding Camael close to their body as Camael rests. Raphael looks forward with intent. Uriel points towards with conviction. Michael stands behind and above all of them.

I'd say that they are large-chested. Of course, that's what everyone says.

( Camael isn't shown, he's somewhat scrawny. Medium chest. )
