21 years ago, Azrael, the Spirit of Death, pardoned a life. Thus, a Death witch is born.

Azrael looks into the window of the Family Waiting Room, where 3 people are sitting. An older, bearded man in a green button down shirt is explaining something to his two sons, a mop-haired boy wearing a Legend of Zelda shirt, and a bespectacled younger boy. They look sad. Azrael uses his powers to see their names and ages: Michael Stein, 40, Seth Stein, 12, and Elijah Stein, 10.
