[ I have no future. It's not like she can abandon the souls under her care. They're like children who need guidance. If left alone, they fade into nothingness or freeze eternally. And if she leaves someone else in charge... After the way Nergal's shadow tried to turn the Underworld into a hellscape, she can't even risk it.
No matter how she looks at it, there is no future for her. Only her role as a guardian of the dead, till humanity is no more. And yet... ]
Can you say it, please?
[ She finally hugs her back and closes her eyes. ]
That... That there is a better future awaiting?
[ It's silly. Such words aren't a promise and means nothing and she has already said it, technically. But... For someone who doesn't believe in herself but loves to cling onto her silly dreams and ideals found in human books? It helps a lot. In dark moments, it helps to remember there is someone out there who believed there is a bright future ahead, someone who is not you and who you can trust. Even if they're wrong...

Sometimes having that hope is what matters. ]
