*Ouch!* Y'know, of all the Words to become corporeal beings, that's
really gotta suck in terms of never attaining a Destiny or falling to
a Fate. On the other hand, at least the Word Forces never go the rest
of the way "down the elevator," so to speak. While I wanted an
original take on the answer, it occurred to me that there might be a
reason why those Words had never since been awarded to replacement
angels: not only the canon answers given, but that the Word just
wouldn't *take* because they were elsewhere in the Symphony. Love,
though... now I've gotta think of some examples of Love shards in
history. Yeesh. Someone else wanna tackle this one? Helene's already
shown to have wound up in Hades, IIRC (well, if you use _The Odyssey
as a guide, at any rate...) Coulda been "poetic license," I know, but
imagine Homer as divinely inspired (note the non-capital "d")....
