Bell scrunched her face in what may have seemed like disgust, but was truly her very own version of pity. She wanted to hug her, to tell her it was alright, but they were holding Alxube's numb body.

"You know what my mother always told me?" Rather than wait for a reply, she continued. "People make lots of choices in their lives. They make choices that define who they really are, but you know what happens to all of them. They die." Bell wasn't even going to sugarcoat it.

"Some people die because they got dealt a bad hand in life. They get murdered, they drown, they die in an earthquake, they die in plane crashes, it's all just bad luck. It was all because of a chance that they'd wake up and die and they always take it because people usually love to live and it cost them."

"And then, some people kill themselves. They're normal for the most part, but they just can't handle the pain anymore and do it. These people are often treated as weak by the Underworld gods, but I've always pitied them. They may be cowards, but they were in pain and I can relate to that. We all can."

"Only a few get to die happy, only a few get to die with the right person by their side. And, you have a choice right now. You have a choice to help more people get their happy ending and not wallow in their pain and suffering alone. You get to make sure people wallow together and that's a beautiful thing."

Her eyes turned fierce. "And, if the gods object, then... well, screw them! They're all adulterous sickos anyway and I'm proud to consider myself an immortal, not someone like them. Never like them. I have my own life and I want to live it and people deserve to live a happy life too. You've got the tools to make that happy and no destiny should dictate that and no god either."

Bell's expression softened. "Vini, it's all up to you. I won't pressure you, but I'm not going to let you pity yourself over a wonderful ability that you can help people with. Yes, it means the world to people and it should! Because at the end of the day, love should always mean more to someone than death."
