I see… so then what happened?

[heavenscorpse]

To me, or to humans?

[notsogrimreaper]

To the both of you.

[heavenscorpse]

Well, because my body was the only thing on the planet that could naturally support life, a lot of people moved there. One of them was the person who killed me, so I said hello to him - like this - and tried to move in with him, and he threw me out the window.

[She's smiling fondly when she says this.]

[notsogrimreaper]

He threw you out the window? S-So he definitely hadn’t forgiven you, huh…

[He laughs nervously.]

[heavenscorpse]

Oh, no, that's not it. He didn't know what I was at that point. And I didn't know what 'revenge' meant then.

Or 'cleaning', so when I tried to clean his apartment it looked really bad.

[notsogrimreaper]

Ah… so you had a lot to learn, and you made a bad impression… Did he forgive you afterwards?

[heavenscorpse]

I think so. We lived together for a few months after he figured he couldn't get rid of me. I'm pretty persistent.

[notsogrimreaper]

I see. I’m glad you got to spend some time with him… is that the end to the story, or did more happen after?

[heavenscorpse]

The end is that he went up in his plane to help stop another alien like me from wiping out what was left of humans, and died on that mission. And I came here a little after that.

[notsogrimreaper]

...I’m so sorry you lost him, only to come here. You should have had more time to grieve.

[This man sounded important to V/V, after all. Ryoji would have wanted more time if he could have gotten it.]

[heavenscorpse]

It's alright. Humans live such short lives, so I wasn't expecting a lot... But I was worried back then that I'd caused the end of my world.

[notsogrimreaper]

Ah… well, despite that being true, it’s still not always easy to accept… That said, I guess the two of us have a lot in common.
