Hi my name is Death. I am the person that governs the whole of purgatory and makes sure that there is order within this so called chaos. I also help to make sure that the needs of the people living in purgatory are taken care of. So therefore, I make sure that their bed sheets are cleaned, they have comfy pillows, they eat their medicine regularly and whenver they argue, I will stop their arguments with my powers. Furthermore, whenever a newcomer comes into purgatory, I have the duty to make sure that he or she will be able to settle in comfortably. I have a better relationship with the people that have been purgatory for a longer time. For example Mug etc. However ultimately, it is my wish for them to move on from purgatory, either to go to heaven, hell or to be reborn.
Regret
I regret my role and identity as Death. Being Death, I have witnessed many people coming into and leaving purgatory. While it comforts me to see people finally leave purgatory, it pains me because these people will have to die first before they are able to come here. Furthermore, a terrible fate awaits them if they go to hell afterwards, and if they choose to be reborn, all their memories will be erased. These people, especially those who want to be reborn, usually wants to make up for their mistakes. However, only I know that they never can. Therefore, since I am the one who ultimately grants them their decision, it pains me and thus I regret.
I guess to show this regret, it can be physicalised by being bounded in chains, to show how even though I regret being myself, I have no choice as I am still bounded and trapped in my role as Death.
Disability
I am blind. God made me blind so that during my time in purgatory, I will not be able to physically see the pain, regret, anger and sadness that the people are feeling. However, even though I'm blind, I can see better than any person. I can feel and "see" very clearly the emotions and desires of the poeple living in purgatory despite my disability. However, my blindness does it affect my movements and I still function as if I have perfect eyesight. I guess to physicalise this, I can wear the black shades that blind people usually wear, and even move around with the walking stick that blind people use. And when I finally remove my shades, we can make it more grotesque with the use of makeup. We can make my eyes look as if someone gouged it out.
P.S. I don't think I have a realization but rather more of a coming to terms with my role as Death with the help of Sarah or Mug. My disability is also never removed.
