I noticed the strain in her voice and part of me was touched by it. I know this is heavy stuff and I guess I needed proof that Maggie hadn't completely closed herself off from these sorts of things. Not that I had any proof that she did or would but it's a guilt complex thing; you assume you're the worst and you worry about how badly you might have damaged someone. But I shouldn't have worried because Maggie isn't perfect and what she's been through has affected her deeply but I know she's a good person. She's still a child in a lot of ways but she's a good person and you can't be as good as her and lock much of your humanity away.
But I'm not going to call attention to the thickness in her voice. She's obviously trying to hide what she's feeling and I can give her that much.
"It was around Halloween. The veil was thin and there was a lot of Necromancer activity going on. But it meant that he was able to visit me. He- he reassured me that I was a good person. Later he visited me at my grave... I was a tiny bit worried because someone had placed a death curse on me to 'die alone'. And by that I mean it was a pretty low point in my life. But he said something I'll never forget.'Everyone dies alone. That's what it is. It's a door. It's one person wide. When you go through it, you do it alone. But it doesn't mean you've got to be alone before you go through the door. And believe me, you aren't alone on the other side.'"
