[ Ten minutes later the voice is infinitely quieter, but infinitely more smug. ] Should be free of interruptions for a bit.
Everyone focuses so hard on the negatives. My workplace treats all humans as sinners. Observers only want to read dramas and emotional thrillers where everyone's miserable. Even in human memories, you recall negative ones far better than positive ones. Death and misery everywhere, s'all you focus on... Even you. Sure, might've been whatever hit you, but you think you made a mistake because you didn't die at the right time. Tried to help people. Disturbing the proper balance or whatever.
[ And he's an angel, which means it's probably going to be some follow-up about how the afterlife is going to be better and God loves you. ]
So why does it matter? To hell with the balance.
[ And somewhere every other angel spits out their tea. ] Whether tomorrow or fifty years from now, you're going to die. That's just what mortality means. To deny that inevitability is to give up your soul. But if it's inevitable, why not enjoy your life in the meantime?
