One decision can ruin your life. Amethyst Howard talks to the dead, visiting them every week and listening to their stories.

The other thinks humans deserve to live horribly. But when Hope discovers something terrible, Amethyst decides to work with instead of against her to ruin someone's life. With really bad consequences.
