[ She smiles and nods, though something he said in particular caught her attention.

"I had no sense of self, because my purpose was all that defined me. I wasn't...me."

She closes her eyes for a moment. She can't remember such a time for herself... But she knows it did definitely exist. Before she came into existence. Before even the time when she was one with Ishtar. That he remembers such a time must be... Scary? Traumatizing, even? But maybe it makes him appreciate life even more. ]

You already know that, but... Don't let what you are define your sentient existence. [She smiles.] We may be Death, but that doesn't mean we have to enjoy seeing people die.

[ She most certainly doesn't. Why, she doesn't kill humans usually unless she really has too. Especially not those who actually want to die and ask her to kill them. No thank you. ]

Though ours is a necessary evil... I for one enjoy seeing humans living long and fulfilled lives.
