Oh, no no no. You misunderstand. You see, like I said, we don't have a Hell. There's no "down" to go to. When you die, provided your soul is of a high enough quality, you go up. But if you die and your soul hasn't had a chance to refine yet, for whatever reason, you come to me.
[Those words are embellished with a little flourish of his fingers. For flavor, you know.]
Now, every Composer does things differently, but I like to think that my way is the most efficient. Second chances aren't just given willy-nilly, you know. In my Underground, you have to work for it. I'm very fond of games, you see; I take what someone considers most important, and if they want it back, they have to win a game - survive a week with another player. If they do, they also get to return to the land of the living, if they want to. If not, they're more than welcome to stick around and help out.
It all fits in with the rules, of course. Anyone that wins, their soul is refined and they go on to contribute to the district they're in before finally dying and ascending. And if they don't win... well, back to the drawing board they go. Their soul gets added back to the collective energy, and it gets used for something else.
