How can the Angel of Death and devils meet in one place, especially in a confined space like a room, with the presence of other angels at the dying person's side?

Matters of the unseen should not be questioned regarding their "how" (modality). There is no textual evidence to suggest the impossibility of angels and devils existing in the same place. The devil flows through the son of Adam like blood, and the noble recording angels do not leave him. Therefore, the devil's whispering to a servant at the time of his death, while angels are present to seize his soul, is neither rationally nor legally impossible.
