Stride stood there baffled. From his understanding, he was tied with this woman from the start with his destiny, and that actually surprised him considering that he always figured he'd die in a tragic way and that'd be his end. Now he's receiving a second chance from Shalana, who was Death effectively. He had two options from what he understood. He could go back and attempt to fulfill this woman's wishes, or probably destroyed as he didn't adhere to what she wanted from him. Clearly, he wanted a peaceful afterlife, so he turned around, removed his crimson jacket, and looked at Shalana with determined eyes.
