[you're not special, Noa, how the hell do you think he lost this eye-]
[SPEAKING OF WHICH]
The Goddess is cruel. I expect no fairness from Her on this front, even if our suffering should be done with once we have died. After all, it is suffering that drives the regretful dead to torment the living, to convince them to take up their cause again.
There is no doubt that my friends and allies all deserved better... Yet even if I could be anything better than I was, it would not have changed anything.
That is how the dead are.

...Besides, we are dead, not corpses. Pulses have no relevance.
