“Just as Death does not choose when people die, I do not choose how they live,” Aris argued. “I write their story as it’s shown to me, and that is the way of things. It matters not if someone is cruel or kind. It makes no difference whether they deserve the life that they get. Once a soul tells me its story, I do not alter it. I do not embellish. I give it the fate I foresee, nothing more, nothing less.”
