❝ Are you still lurking in the shadows, Mistress of the Underworld ? Have you yet to emerge from your shell, even now ? ❞
Old habits die hard, that was true, but for one who held both a genuine love for humanity and a longing for the world above her domain, the goddess of death had a hard time actually expressing her feelings. Not that Gilgamesh wanted in any way to help her with her plight, to help her get better when dealing with others. No, not in the slightest. In fact, seeing her struggle was almost hilarious in its absurdity. For a god reduced to be reduced to such a reclusive state, it was delightful — satisfying to one who would continue to hold the divine in contempt.
