[x] Visit Vincent's room. Maybe you can apologize for yesterday.

---

Vincent opens his eyes. The bright morning sun causes him to squint. As he waits for his eyes to adjust, he recognizes an imposing shadow looming over him. The tall figure is carrying a large scythe. He sighs heavily and closes his eyes.

"I guess those things got me after all," he mutters.

The shadow turns toward him.

"This is the inevitable end of all living things," it says.

"I was really hoping that I wouldn't be meeting you this quickly," he says with regret.

"How rude," the shadow says. "It's not like I grab souls randomly. This is just my job."

"So, my Death," Vincent says without opening his eyes. "What happens next? Is my soul going to be judged or something?"

"Unfortunately, there are some complications," the shadow says. "I can't let you cross over just yet."

"..."

Death seems to be far more complicated that it seems. He pauses to think back on his life. There are a few things that he screwed up here and there, but it doesn't seem fair that he be made an exception from judgment. While he wasn't a saint, he did put a lot of effort in doing good during his life.

"May I ask what this complication is?" he asks.

"You aren't dead yet." the shadow says simply.

"..."

Vincent opens his eyes and tries to sit up, but something blocks his head. Seems like the shadow kneeled over him and he bumped into it. He feels something soft on his lips. It takes him a few moments to recognize the sensation. He pulls away quickly.

"W-what? I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-" he stammers.

He takes a better look at the person. She has bright red eyes and short red hair tied in two places. She is wearing a white dress with a blue vest overtop. She has a large belt around her slender waist, subtley countouring her shapely figure. It seems to have some kind of coin tied in the center. She is holding a large scythe in her right hand as she is kneeling down.

She seems to be in shock. Her cheeks are a light tinge of pink. She slowly puts a hand to her lips.

"Excuse me, but are you alright?" Vincent asks.

The girl turns back to him and gives him a jolly smile.

"I'm Komachi," she says. "I am the Shinigami in charge of the Sanzu River. Nice to meet you!"

She offers him her hand. He takes it slowly and shakes it.

"N-nice to meet you," Vincent manages.

He pauses to think.
