[He lets out a soft hum at her response, going back to munching on his meal for a few moments.]
No one escapes death. Not forever, anyway. I won't pretend I know all the mortal struggles. I had to distance myself from the stories and the pain for a long while. I simply do my job. I am the only one who can.
But... I wholeheartedly believe that every mortal should live a good life. Full of opportunity and joy. And even the end should be as peaceful as the life led. But... I am aware that it is not that way for most. If you have managed to slip away and can live a second life that brings more happiness I would be glad...
[He wants to argue for her past life. The people that are being left behind because they're surely someone but again... He can't press his grievances with Zagreus in her direction. That's unfair.]
No hard feelings when I do find you. I'm fairly good at my job after all. Hopefully Hypnos has said as much. [And not just told embarrassing stories about him.] But... if this is all something the Fates have decided then there's nothing I can do about it. What's meant to be... will be. Even those that slip away from me.
