Death Quote by Cassandra Clare
““Kit: Gone on where? Is he in Heaven? I mean, it seems so unlikely. Jessamine: Christopher! Kit: Seriously, You didn't know him. Jessamine: I don't know what comes after death. Tessa used to come and ask me too. She wanted to know where Will was. But he didn't linger - he died happy and at peace, and he went on. I am not like Charon. I am no ferryman. I cannot say what lies on the other side of the river. Kit: It could be awful. It could be torture forever. Jessamine: It could be. But I don't think so.””
