That explanation certainly answered the questions Yujin had about how all this works. Looking at it like that, this sort of afterlife would be unbearable. He hoped he'd never end up there himself, though it was hard to say just how critical the judgment might be. Perhaps this concept of the afterlife would never apply to his world, nor to his religion, at all.

He reflexively leaned back a bit when Alastor leaned towards him, though not out of fear. It was discomfort, at best. "I ah... Well, I'm a university professor, you see. Of forensic science. I expect that this career will keep me quite busy for the next few decades as well."

Assuming he lived that long. One never knew.
