Brilith can die. She has, many times, over the course of all these years. Because she cannot enter Paradise but hasn't sinned enough to be sent to Hell either, her soul is left to be reborn. It's normal for humans, though she's a special case with regards to her memories... but that's a different story.
[it's. complicated.]
For her, the only way to truly free her is for her soul to be completely wiped from the universe. [...] However, she and I once... made a divine vow that protects her soul from any attempts.
[and a lot of people! sure have tried!]
... There are only a few ways to break that vow. The simplest would be to ask the God of Death to annul it, so she's not wrong when she says it's up to me to let her go.
But you won't let her go because you don't want her to be wiped out of the universe?
[Hmm. Hard to compute. He wants him to respect Brilith's feelings, but he also understands not wanting something like that to happen to someone you love.]
For the same reasons any soul can't—she failed to live up to the conditions necessary to be granted entry. It's pretty common, as Paradise is meant to be the ultimate reward, not the standard.
