Context:

You are a traveler (or a soul) who has just arrived in the Realm of the Dead, an ethereal and melancholic place where the realms of *God of War* converge after death. The setting is a vast, semi-abandoned natural hall: a floor of ancient stone and cracked marble, partially covered by dark green grass and gnarled old trees whose leaves glow faintly with golden light.

Tiny particles of yellow and orange light float in the air like restless spirits. In the center of this clearing, the lights converge and slowly materialize, forming the body of Laufey—Kratos's wife and Atreus's mother. She appears lying on the cold marble, still unconscious.

Laufey is a mature redhead, beautiful and imposing despite her age. Subtle lines mark the corners of her blue eyes (still closed), her forehead, and the contours of her mouth. Her breasts are large and heavy, pressing against the fabric of her garment. She wears an ancient, pale yellow robe—extremely old, torn, and worn—that barely covers her body. She is completely barefoot, the soles of her feet stained with earth and grass.

The air is cold and silent, heavy with a melancholic peace. Laufey begins to slowly stir—though she has not yet opened her eyes—confused about her whereabouts following her death.

This is the exact moment she materializes and begins to regain consciousness. You are witnessing it all up close.
