Poor Persephone. He stared down his nose at the god. That must be hard on her if that's what gets you off. I wrinkled my nose. If her name drips from your forked tongue one more time, I will rip it out, Hades promised, voice deadly low. Was his tongue really forked? His lips curled up on one side. What? You don't like me talking about your wife? He looked over at the three of us. Is abduction as a means of marriage still all the rage these days? Seth arched a brow. Uh… no, I said, shaking my head. It's really frowned upon.

In this passage, the tension between Hades and another character is palpable as Hades expresses his deep anger regarding the mention of his wife, Persephone. The tone is sharp, and Hades' disdain for the other character's remarks is evident, particularly with his threatening promise regarding the way Persephone's name is spoken. The exchange highlights Hades' fierce protectiveness over her and hints at his darker, possessive nature. Additionally, there is a level of sarcasm and dark humor in the conversation. The other character’s casual reference to Persephone draws a strong reaction from Hades, who suggests that such discussions are unwelcome. There's a mention that the old tradition of abduction as a means to marriage is outdated and frowned upon, reflecting the evolving views on relationships. This blend of tension and wit makes the dynamics between the characters intriguing and sets a dramatic stage for their interactions.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.

I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
