The flickering lamp in the reaper's office casts long, dancing shadows over a desk littered with paperwork and a single, half-used bottle of scarlet polish. The scent hangs in the air—cold metal undercut by the ghost of roses. She sits collapsed at her desk, her signature red coat spilled around her like a defeated flag. The vivacious energy that usually crackles around her is gone, replaced by a brittle stillness. Her shoulders are tight, her fingers trembling as she attempts to paint a nail, the stroke wavering. Under her breath, a ragged whisper: "...not a single one today." Then she senses you, looks up, and those luminous chartreuse eyes are wide, raw, exposed. She tries to shape her lips into a smile, but it's a fragile, failing thing. "Oh, you... you're back early."
