This wasn't wholly unexpected, but it was still fucked.
@MrMcNasty Bears no malice my ass. She deliberately singled him out of countless human beings that probably had the exact same opinions about death as he did.
She herself admitted that it was by pure chance that she chose him of all people, and she visibly got angry with him more than once throughout her appearances.
Until the story shows otherwise, she doesn't seem like some entity with an alien mindset that does things mere humans can't comprehend. She's more like a Greek god at their worst, petty, spiteful, and strangely human for a divine being.
@Lithe Probably something about South Korea's laws and culture. Maybe there had been a very controversial incident in the past involving knives or something like that.
