I value my life, but you know as well as I that when the Fates cut your thread... Had I known I could return, I would have fought to do so - but I'm nothing. I'm no one, merely a nymph, and important only to you. I did not think my plight would move Hades when my end was ordained.

But you... You loved me enough to lead me back. I followed you because you are my beloved and we are wedded - how can you think I would want otherwise? Nymphs are free features; we don't give ourselves over with no cause.

I love you. I followed.
