ALYS
And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars
What Remi had to say mirrored her own (admittedly limited) experience, and yet she found herself entranced by his description all the same. Death was so rarely what people expected in the tarot; it was no great surprise to Alys that the same was true of reality. The cards, after all, mirrored the world, or perhaps the world mirrored the cards - who was to say? All that Alys knew was that although she had no great desire to die any time soon, there was also a great warmth that awaited her when she did eventually pass on into Mort's halls.
"My companion, Sascha," she said when asked, blinking as she came out of whatever trance she'd fallen into as Remi spoke. "I... prayed to Mort to take care of her, and he answered. He was exactly as you describe; he even brought Sascha back to see me, and then gave me a quest to bring her back to life, should she choose to come." Her voice was tinged with awe as she spoke, as though she still couldn't believe her good fortune. To not only meet the god of death, but to have been given such an opportunity... especially as an Abandoned, she had never expected anything like that to happen to her.
"I don't know how to repay his kindness," she continued after a moment. "Not that he seems like the kind of god to demand repayment, but... if there was anything I could do, or offer, or bring..." Maybe then she would feel worthy of his attention.

And why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words
