Given that the afterlife is evidently a thing in RWBY, why didn't the Light Brother just tell Salem that he can't reverse death but that Ozma was waiting for her, just beyond the Veil Between Realms? That all she really had to do was live her life and live it well to rejoin him in due time? No, he had to make it sound like her suffering was somehow something she had to do to build moral fibre or something. I hate that attitude. I'm starting to think that the Gods' presence was doing more harm than good. People were becoming dependent on them rather than learn to solve their own problems, so much so that their pleas to the gods were starting to sound like demands to them. Maybe they should take a lesson from Althena from the old LUNAR games, who stepped down as a Goddess so humanity could learn to live without her oversight. Hopefully the Two Brothers learn that mankind doesn't need them to survive and flourish, heck there was nothing like Atlas in the days of the Gods, maybe that might make the older brother reconsider his whole deal with Ozma. Maybe? Hopefully? We'll see, I guess.
