something about the way Livane says "The Netherworld is for the Living" really gets to me, and has been echoing in my mind ever since i first heard it, probably a decade ago

#folklore #or folkssouls ig #it's a video game. just finished it again #i think. that at the time i hadnt really encountered any piece of fiction that grappled with the concept of death #and how to process grief and whatnot #so the concept of the netherworld. a place considered to be the afterlife #but is really just an amalgamation of what people think the afterlife is like. #that the people of dead people you meet there are actually just memories. because the dead are dead. #and messengers just being a way to help the living process their grief of a loved one being gone #by communicating with what's left of the memories of the dead #i dont know i dont know #it's for the living #you are /alive/ #idk man #it just gets to me
