[ Morrigan, Pluto, Morpheus ]
"That’s an interesting question. The books all have different answers. People used to think strange things like ending up in an underworld would happen. Then there are people who send off the dead with all the things they need in their next life."
The boy tilts his head to the side, as if trying to remember something. “Ah, now that I think about it, Lutwidge almost has its own belief system. There’s this rumor about a ghost wandering the hallways after curfew.”
"His hair goes to the floor and his eyes are barely slits in his face. He goes after the younger students because it’s too much trouble to drag a larger corpse through the secret passages in the walls. All these things sound pretty silly, right?"
But somehow…I always thought death is like a circle. It keeps spinning and spinning…I do wonder why. If anything, isn’t this the most silly belief of all?
"We go underground. Come now, everybody knows that." A pause. "Are you quite alright, Mister? You’re certainly asking some strange questions."
"Aha, don’t worry. The Bloody Oracle won’t get you."
He doesn’t need to. “I’ve got lots of books to read. They’re more interesting than the things I come up with on my own.”
"Does that answer your questions? Good? Good." With that, he’s back to his stack of books.
