Kaitryona Acheron wrote: The afterlife is a creation that makes death no different than a change in locale. Knowing that a person is gone forever, or at least entertaining the possibility that a person is gone forever, is the true horror and defining principle of death. Without that essential aspect, death becomes a cosmic hiatus; a vacation, if you will. The only thing separating Ruby from Summer, or Jaune from Pyrrha, is a rope and a sturdy girder. So true, and begs the question: If they know that the afterlife exists, why the hell does everyone on this show not just slit their wrists and get the hell out of this friggin wasteland of death and destruction?
