"There are a lot of people like that," Luz said, shaking her head. "Now that I think about it, most of the adult men that I know have something like that hanging over them. But I'll bet that Reaper trusts you enough to let you in. You don't need me to tell you not to betray his trust, or I'll come for you, ok?"

She gave him a smile to let him know she was only half kidding.

"I was causing a lot of people pain with my actions, and I didn't realize it until I died my first time. Right around that time, I met her. So I'm not going to make trouble for people who care about me like that anymore, if I can help it."

She nodded. "I know exactly what you mean."
