Juliet spent the following days helping the Reaper with his duties both above and within the Underworld. Before she knew it, Juliet soon found that she too was falling in love.
True to his word, the Reaper did indeed transform once they had arrived in the Underworld. Juliet had changed as well; her skin became even more pale than before and her long golden locks mutated into a monstrous teal. Be that as it may, Death only fell even more deeply in love.
After a long silence, Juliet finally spoke. “I spent most of my life laying in bed because I was sick from the very start. I’ve had a lot of time to think about what might happen when it was time to say good-bye. I pictured myself living in the clouds, meeting the Sun Goddess, and finally escaping my pain when I died,” she said.
The Reaper stayed silent, nodding his head.
“However, I’ve always had a thirst for adventure that I was never able to quench. And you know what? I cannot think of a better adventure than journeying to the Underworld with Death himself.”
“Then it is settled!” the Grim Reaper exclaimed. “We will leave immediately!”
After some time had passed, Death could ignore his sole duty no longer. “Juliet, today is the day when you must pass on. I can delay your death no further. Please, come to the Underworld with me,” the Reaper begged.
“I don’t know…” Juliet said, looking off in the distance.
“I am asking a lot…you deserve an afterlife in the sky, not underground with Death. However, things will be different once we are in my realm. There is a whole other side to me that mortals can never see.“
“You do not know how happy I am to see you, my dear. I was worried that I had scared you away,” Death whispered. “I have another gift for you. I know how much you love roses.”
“You cannot just win me over with roses. There is more to winning over a lady’s love than that,” replied Juliet with a smirk.
“I admit that I am unaccustomed to this. You do not have time to learn much about love or courtship when you work as much as I do.”
The next morning, Juliet and Death met just outside the abandoned town known as Forgotten Hollow. The Reaper had chosen the location because he did not want the screaming of squeamish mortals to ruin his first date with his crush.
Just when Juliet thought things could not become any stranger, Grim asked her if she would be willing to go on a date. Juliet was extremely hesitant, but she was also incredibly curious about what a date with Death himself must be like. After taking a moment to weigh the pros and cons, she agreed.
Eventually, Death confessed that he had been letting Juliet live a few days past her time so that he could continue to watch over her. They had never spoken to each other until this time, but he had fallen madly in love nonetheless.
