Do you think theres somewhere else, some other place to go after this one? Mandy blurted out.You mean when you die, where will you end up? Alecto asked her. I wouldnt know back to whatever void there is, I suppose.Ive thought about it every living thing dies alone, itll be lonely after death, Mandy sighed sadly. That freaks me out, does it scare you?I don't want to be alone, Alecto replied wearily. We wont be, though. Well be dead, so well just be darkness, not much else, just memories, nostalgia and darkness.I dont want to be any of that either though, Mandy exclaimed, bursting into tears and crying, keeping her eyes to the floor, her voice shaky as she spoke to him. When we die, well still be nothing, the world will still be nothing, everythingll just be nothing!Youre real though, at least thats something, Alecto pointed out, holding his hand out in front of her. Smiling miserably, Mandy took his hand in her own and sat there beside him quietly.
