Is there any reason, out of story, that RH needed to die with no afterlife for him? I understand it happening to Hades, but they could have killed RH by a blast of magic or pushing him out the window or something that gives the character final rest and peace for eternity, not….nothingness.
I suspect it’s because A and E don’t ever want to revisit Robin or be constantly plagued about seeing him again. They get that all the time with Nealfire. This way, with Robin, he’s literally obliterated and there’s no chance of going to the Underworld to get him, no magical handwave to bring him back. He’s gone for good.
