Enoch Carries the Watchers' Petition: and It Fails
Enoch delivers the sentence to Azazel and then to the rest of the fallen Watchers, who are seized with fear and beg him to write a petition for forgiveness on their behalf. He writes it, falls asleep by the waters of Dan while reading it, and wakes from a troubling vision to find the Watchers still gathered, weeping, waiting to hear what he saw.
