Everyone needs something, but sometimes what's needed is out of reach or hidden completely from view. Thanatos hoped that maybe Ryo could give him a starting point. Seeing what Persephone did was a catalysis, but he's left directionless. There's something different than the various fertility gods for this. Asking about other worlds' gods of Life seems like as good of a starting point as any.

It would be nice if he got an answer though.... There's no blame on Ryo though. Thanatos knows full well how few gods there are in his world.

Still, Thanatos has to look away, even if he knows it's harder for Ryo to see him in this darkness. He feels unsteady, unbalanced, and his voice is quiet. "... Not that I know of, but I feel their absence."
