![“...[M]ortals are strange when people die. The more we hated or loved someone, the more we want to remember them. … When people die, especially in a shocking, violent, or unexpected way, they tend to forgive, or at least forget, what angered them. It’s a blessing of Persephone. She doesn’t like it…” quote by Mandy Oviatt](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/325/mandy-oviatt-158810_death_m-ortals-are-strange-when-people-die-the_1551011.jpg)
