Death is this unexpectedly sweet and sad character that I want to befriend, take care of, and assure him that everything will be alright and that we all love him.
Death is one of my favourite discworld characters ❤️
(quotes from Mort by Terry Pratchett)

2/2 "‘Look, I can’t see why you’re so worried. I expect he’s just got held up somewhere,’ said Mort, but it sounded feeble even to him. It wasn’t as though people buttonholed Death to tell him another story, or clapped him on the back and said things like ‘You’ve got time for a quick half in there, my old mate, no need to rush off home’ or invited him to make up a skittles team and come out for a Klatchian take-away afterwards, or . . . It struck Mort with sudden, terrible poignancy that Death must be the loneliest creature in the universe. In the great party of Creation, he was always in the kitchen."--from Mort by Terry Pratchett.
