arrête! c'est ici l'empire de la mort
An odd sign. No one ever stops at the gates of the empire of the dead. One might turn back from a cemetery or wander the banks of the Styx, a Ladybug's charmed luck might turn the Pearly Gates to revolving doors, but the catacombs are a tourist attraction, and there is no moratorium on mortality.
She'll have to remember that one. The one she's here for might laugh. She hopes he'll laugh.
