[From here.]

[ He peers over at her curiously from the side of the pool. Dressed in this, except that he currently has no legs. ]

The wings...? They're familiar?

[threatmewted]

Uh, yeah? I'm a Reaper. It's part of the whole package.

[heavyliesthecrown]

How peculiar. Though I recall your state as a reaper. It seems you've learned a little more perhaps?

Does it feel a bit like returning to normal?

[threatmewted]

Not really? I didn't keep my wings out all the time. Besides, there's way more powers that come with Reaperhood than just wings.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Oh? What sorts of abilities?

[threatmewted]

Oh, y'know. The usual. Putting up walls to stop Players from running around the whole town. Summoning Noise to sic on 'em while they play. That kinda stuff.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Don't you wish to play nice with them?

[threatmewted]

No. Why should I? That defeats the whole purpose of the Game in the first place.

[heavyliesthecrown]

But weren't you in one, to begin with!?

[threatmewted]

Yeah. And now I run it to make sure there aren't any losers who get revived at the end. What's not to get?

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . I do not believe you.

[threatmewted]

Good thing it's not my problem if you believe me or not.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I just simply cannot think you would try and destroy a future for others. It would be like graduating from this place and deciding to become a host and torturing your own unit.

[threatmewted]

Um, what future? They're already dead!

[heavyliesthecrown]

A peaceful afterlife or rebirth!

[threatmewted]

Humans don't just hang out in the afterlife, dummy! Either you get revived, become a Reaper, or you get Erased.

[heavyliesthecrown]

But there must be another option.

[threatmewted]

Are you seriously suggesting you understand more about the afterlife than a Reaper?

[heavyliesthecrown]

You weren't always a reaper. Who is to say there isn't more you have yet to learn?

[threatmewted]

Wow. You really do think you know my job better than I do. I'm impressed.

By how dumb you are.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I simply believe you are kinder than you pretend to be.

[ THUS. Could not condemn people to nonexistence.]

[threatmewted]

Well, don't say I didn't warn ya.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Fufu... will you reap me? That would be a problem right now. As I have a few things I need to accomplish before the end.

[threatmewted]

Did you die in Shibuya or Shinjuku?

[heavyliesthecrown]

I haven't yet passed. But I am from Yokohama.
