"To prevent a themarian that wants to die from reaching Eternal Death is the greatest disrespect one could do to us…
…you are disrespecting her, Riley."
Diana's tone was soft but stern at the same time; not even a hint of authority or command in it, all there was is pleading.
There was a shadow reflecting in her eyes, showing a certain… darkness. Her entire people just died—and now, the only remaining themarian aside from her chose to end her life. There was still Esme, but her chances of survival solely relied on whether she wanted to live or not, and even then… she might not make it.
But it didn't matter, not at this moment.
"Riley, listen to me…" Diana continued to plead, "...please, let me immortalize her along with the rest of my people, let me bury her with her son. At least give them that please…please."
