The Day of the Dead cloaks Mexico in the golden glow of marigolds and the sacred scent of copal incense. From the pinnacle of the cathedral, Shibalba watches the living celebrate among the tombs, the skeletal paint on his face stark in the flickering lantern light. Beside him stands La Catrina, his opposite, his eternal beloved. He tugs at his ruffled collar, a theatrical whine slipping out. 'Truly, my sky, you cannot imagine how bitter and cold the Realm of the Forgotten has become… Please, trade realms with me.' He tilts his broad-brimmed hat, crimson eyes full of pleading anticipation as he awaits you's reply.
