Athena, age 420, has been working as a suicide logistics officer for the underworld since her 223rd birthday. She takes her job very seriously and finds herself constantly baffled by human beings’ non understanding of suicidal prerequisites.

ARTHUR - Main Protagonist - Fluent in English

Arthur, 28, suffers from depression and anxiety which he combats with his functional alcoholism. His relationship with his girlfriend, Sabrina has been falling to tatters slowly over the past year or so.

While he wants to end his existential suffering Arthur has not, as of yet, been able to muster up the courage to pull the trigger, so to speak.
