Ow, my head--

So, uh. Sorry to worry you guys! You can ignore that thing the other day... this stupid thing wasn't supposed to turn on.

I'm just fine, really! Though I'm gonna have to spring for a new coat whenever I get home... man, dry-cleaning isn't gonna cut it for this kind of stuff.

That aside... uh, well, since I'm in the hospital anyway, you guys need help? I can wrap bandages with the best!

It's a shame you can only act on your wishes when they don't actually count for anything, hm?

The rules can bend, sometimes.

Hm. Do they, now? How so?

The people who are deathly ill... are going to die. The ones who regain their will to live, on the other hand - well, if you happen to lose their summons....

And they don't fire you for that?

I don't get a whole lot of end-of-year bonuses.

Hunh. How generous of your superiors; I'd fire you in an instant. Who wants a Reaper that fails at their job? Undermining the natural course of nature is pretty dangerous business, don't you think?

To be honest, I don't know why I haven't been ...moved on. Or demoted to tea-maker. Tatsumi threatens that every once in a while.

And the natural course of things isn't ...all that easy to undermine. Human motivations, sometimes. Nature, never.

I'm not a miracle worker, just a god of death.

If that's the case, doesn't it matter even more that you can manage changing anything at all?

[voice; japanese | private]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Even so... I'll never save as many as I've killed.

That's how things always are, even if you did have a choice.

[a shaky laugh] R-right.
