[ At that, Cecil's hands on his shoulders tighten their grip, her nails digging into him possessively. She stays quiet for a while, but it's probably pretty clear that wasn't the answer she expected-- or one she likes. ]

How does it work and how did it feel when it happened to you? I want the details.
I don't know how it works exactly. But what it does is...shred the essence of whatever's put into it. Angels have a lot of essence as these things are measured so the process takes quite a while. I wasn't even all the way dead when I came to Court, though I was as good as since the process had already been started on me.
As for what it feels like, it hurts. I can't...describe it in words.
