[Nico's not really sure how to respond to that question, but he answers the how his father's underworld is.]

There are three parts to my Father's domain—the Fields of Asphodel, where most people go. People stand there among the poplars; the ones with stronger wills can recognize time passing, but most don't. A necromancer can summon them if they need to, though.

Then there's Elyisum, where those who best serve the gods are rewarded. It's always like a party, and those who wish can join Father's army. They're the ones I summon. With their permission, of course.

Then there are the Fields of Punishment, where those who oppose the gods are punished for their crimes. Most of the punishments are ironic rather than bloody. At any point, someone not in the Fields of Punishment can choose to reincarnate.

I see. That's not as bad as I thought.

[He said before mumbling once more.]

It's...different from what I have heard back home. There are religions that might think in different ways but in their eyes? The afterlife is a place where people can finally rest. Sometimes, there are ley lands that can make them come back. However, it is mostly based on their memories. They can have memories of the past and can't move forward.

[Pause]

...And other times, we don't really know if they did pass on to the afterlife.

Well, my underworld's only one of many. I think. So they could all be correct.

[Nico nods.]

Ghosts are a thing. I deal with them a lot. They were my teachers and instructors.
