What a great use of the trolly problem in your story. And it’s great to see how Death works through it in her head. So many people die around the world senselessly, not needing to perish but still doing so. Yet here, she had to make a decision. One innocent child or hundreds of others. It’s a tough choice and it makes me wonder if anyone else could have done it in this moment.
I think it shows a lot of Deaths character here that she makes the hard decisions and can feel sadness over it. She chose the many over the few, something that the rich and powerful don’t do. And to have her own mind still tear her apart. Heartbreaking.
Powerful and heartbreaking chapter.
