36 | The Dead Don't Lie
Death is when mortals transform into the dead.
Death is when four choices of life are reduced to two choices of demise.
Mortals like her generally have four options to choose from. The first one was the truth, the second in line was a lie, the third was silence, and lastly the deadliest of all, something that her husband practiced a lot, the art of manipulation.

The Dead... don't lie.
When she was around sixteen, one fine rainy day, she was made to choose.

Not to stay alive, but for something else.
