Dreamy. Moony. Abuzz with romance.

All thanks to capitalism and modern soulmatism.

"Today's the day," Rey vowed standing at the threshold of the Underworld.

Blades of grass wrapped around her toes, as if pleading with her to stay in the world of the living a little while longer.

But she had a purpose, a plan that sent a shock of giddiness up her spine.

Stepping beyond the archway, a clammy embrace curled over her shoulders.

A world shrouded in decay.

Yet in the gift in her hands radiated warmth and life like a beacon.

It gave her strength to put one foot in front of the other towards the shores of the Styx.
