Willard is an angel of destruction. When he becomes filled with darkness he descends to the world and where he descends, he causes destruction. Time and loneliness cause the first scene of destruction we see. That is when he meets Elias and is intrigued by the pain and darkness in his eyes. Elias has known pain before Willard descended and destroyed everything. Willard takes Elias to his "home" and keeps him there. Elias' feelings of fear and hate and Willard's feelings of contempt soften and become love over that time. Elias realizes he loves Willard but thinks Willard does not return his feelings. So, he decides to jump from Willard's home in the clouds in order to die. Willard stops him because he actually does love Elias. However, loving an angel of destruction and being loved by him fills Elias with darkness and it corrodes him, quickly causing him to die. Willard is again filled with darkness and prepares to descend, but this time loss and regret are what have filled him with that darkness.
