You're not supposed to know what happens after you die. [ It's said in a light tone, and if it were in any conversation it would have been far more teasing, but as it is she remains gentle and gives him a small, almost sad smile. ]
Everyone gets to make a choice, Galen. You can move on when Death comes for you, or you can stay behind. Some people stay behind. You can't take it back though, once you've made the decision it's final.
[ She's been around long enough to witness countless people make their choice, one way or another, and she may be biased but she's not an advocate for sticking around. Always observed though, never made comment. That wasn't her job, and until recently (by her standards, at least) she had stuck to it. Just watched, nothing more. ] Sometimes when they stay...well, it's lonely. No contact with anyone else, watching loved ones move on. It can make people angry. And the people that brought us here, well I don't doubt there's much out of their power at this point.
