This was perfect. H'ronmeer with a black umbrella and wise eyes, of course. Shifting Death into Martian terms while retaining the feeling of the character we know is disorienting and beautiful.
"One life is no less important than fifty billion. That’s *old* knowledge, J'onn J'onzz. Anything else is just math."
Just gorgeous.
H'ronmeer moved away on the sidewalk, humming an off-key version of an old Martian waking song.
You're brilliant at the tiny details that go unexplained to give it an alien feel (a waking song? How perfectly not-human and yet so wonderfully imaginable). Fantastic.
