Yes. [She says it on a sigh, clasping her hands in front of her. She looks away from him and at her hands, expression distant.]

Most people don't really want to die, they hesitate, they second-guess. Which means they still want to live. Most change their minds and I'll have to call for help. Most just want to know someone's listening, that someone cares. Someone to talk to.

But... Some have made up their minds. I stay, so they don't have to die alone. [Yuri takes a deep breath and slowly exhales again, as if trying to shake off the horror of the confession here. Which is silly, because it's not even the worst part.]

I told you about some of my abilities before-- Being able to see someone's memories and things like that. There's...a little more to it than that. [It just wasn't relevant to bring up at the time] Ironically, this power was used by the priestesses that used to exist here I lived for just this purpose, helping suicides.

It's, uh. [How does she explain it? She supposes bluntly is well enough] I take on their pain, so they don't have to feel anything while they die. I take on the weight of their sins-- the sin of suicide or others--so their souls can freely move on to the Heavens.

[She watches him a moment to gauge a reaction at that]
