DEATH IN BLOOM | Omeleto

The death she chose was quite beautiful, really. Falling down stairs isn't gentle by any means, but the wooden rose to stare at in her final moments was lovely.

I'm assuming the salesman has a record of every death in history for reference. Quite a pile to choose from.

Each episode explores a different customer, with a different psychological profile. Subtle worldbuilding as snippets of dialogue and throwaway lines reveal how the bureaucracy behind this all works.

Elements in her life that were trashy and in disrepair were subverting her meaningful death by reflecting the way she actually lived: always trying to make something glamorous but being foiled by small details. In the broken rosebud, a synergy of the beautiful and the ugly, she was able to accept that, giving authentic meaning to her life, and thus, her death.

She reminds me of my mom. Last year, my mom had some medical incident and an ambulance was called for her. She ended up all right after it all, but later she told me that as she was lying inside the ambulance, she thought, "Is this how I'm going to die?" meaning in a pathetic, shabby, inglorious way. She admits to loving to be dramatic and she has to have every little detail just right, especially in her clothing. That's my mom! I love her anyway. She will be ninety-two this year.

I liked how, despite the lighting, Christopher doesn't have a whole lot of light on him and always seems to be in a sort of darker pitch no matter what.

[@lilytoa8761]

You've got to think about how he said "Remember, don't open it, or you'll ruin the surprise." is actually an actual depiction of what death is like in real life. It's ALWAYS unexpected in ways people can't control. I'm pretty impressed! The fact that the Dame was basically trying to take control over the one thing that she could have in accordance to death being HOW she died was pretty well tied with the rest of the theme. I liked it.
