After Orpheus discovers this, he sets out on a journey to save her, telling her to “Wait for Me”. He arrives at Hadestown and is allowed to let him take her home, but only if he trusts her to stay behind him on the way back. He can’t see her, hear her, nor feel her. His doubt came in. Right on the last steps to freedom, he looked back. He saw her there, but now for long as she was killed on the spot. It’s a sad tale, it’s a tragedy
