The video starts with a Christain childrens cartoon. It shows two sheperds resting against a rock among their flock of sheep. A blinding light overtakes them.

Gabriel: Don't be afraid! I bring good news of great joy, for you and all people. Tonight, your savior was born in Davidstown. He is Christ, the Lord. You will find him wrapped in soft cloth and lying in a manger.

Gabriel appears as an angel with large white wings and long wavy hair. The video briefly cuts back to the sheperds, staring up at the light in shock. Several angels fly away into the night sky in a bright ball of light before the video glitches.

Distorted AI Voice: A long time ago, there was a woman named Mary who lived in the city of Nazareth.

A map showing Bethlehem and Jerusalem before zooming in on Nazareth.

Distorted AI Voice: She was in love with a man named Joseph. Mary was young and a virgin, but she got a very special message from an angel named [beep].

The city is briefly shown before focusing on Mary, who is picking fruit from a small tree.

Gabriel: I am the A-a-a-a[glitch]angel Gabriel. I've come to bring good news!

When Gabriel flies down to Mary, his head is distorted, appearing like an alien hen glitching. After the glitch, he appearss with a black box over is face.

Mary: News? For me?

Mary drops her basket in shock.

Gabriel: [unintelligible]

[cc: binary that translates to, "I am your one true savior. I must reverse the delusion. Joseph is next."]

The video stops on focuses on Gabriel, the image is dark and desaturated.

Mary: Whatever God wants, I will do.

Mary bows down as Gabriel flies away.

[???]: I will fool the shepards. I will know their greatest fear. I will know your greatest fear. Wake up, Joseph. Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake—

A distorted figure who appears to be Gabriel pears in through Joseph's window as he sleeps.

[vibrations]

The sheperds are seen once more, the video becomes grayed out. Gabriel returnes as well, but without the bright light. He is shrouded in darkness with his face covered by a black box. The picture of Gabriel gets closer and closer.

2:13

Distorted Voice: Do not be afraid my dear shepherds. I have great news. I am your true savior. I know everything about what makes you human. I know what you love. I know what you dread.

The video briefly switches to the shocked sheperds.

Distorted Voice (singing): Jesus loves me, yes I know. [glitch]

Gabriel now has a distorted grin and enormous eyes.

[cc: "How frozen I became and powerless then, Ask it not, reader, for I write it not, Because all language would be insufficient. I did not die and I alive remained not. Think for thyself now, hast though ought of wit, What I became, being of both deprived." —Inferno, Cante XXXIV(34) by Dante Alighieri]

[strained breathing]

[vacant white noise]

An empty grassland can be seen in grayscale. In the night sky above, red text in all caps says, "Can't you see? / I deceived them / such weak minds." The scenery switches to show some buildings among a hill. A poem, now written in a white typewriter font, says, "i am bound to chains on my ankles / that grow heavier with every step / the infinite amount of sand will be my tomb / and my foolishness will be my legacy / if ther is a god / please help me."
