By the gods, why is this the second time he's having this conversation today? How many people on this train are under the impression that they're not allowed to be people?
He meets Persephone's gaze, and...well. Obviously they can't leave Thanatos like this. Persephone says what's on his mind, and he holds Thanatos a little tighter while she talks.
"She's right - you're more than just your job." They'd talked about this too during the mission, not that that had gone terribly well. "You're more than just death - you're a person, and you're allowed to have feelings and make friends and care about them, and that's a good thing!" He pauses, and then: "And if the gods of your world have told you otherwise, then they're wrong." He'd never had the best impression of Thanatos' fellow gods in the first place, and this certainly isn't helping that. Hopefully it's helping Thanatos, at least.
