"Good morning sleepy-head. It's your first day of school!"

"Yaaaay! I'm gonna make like a million friends, so make sure the house is ready for a party, mom!"

Confirmed. Sending soul to vessel...

Soul Sent.

Administrator-15 sighed and leaned back in her chair. This was one of the more troublesome souls in her library. Always early deaths, always unhappy lives. And some ugly anomalous behavior involving another soul that came from some other Administrator's library, to boot. Whenever those two met up, this soul was on the chopping block, every time. Yet, somehow they kept finding each other-- it looked like soulmate behavior, only with more gruesome . In normal circumstances she would never have sent a soul to an unpredictable vessel. Better to let the unlucky ones lay dormant. Getting too hung up on trying to Pass a single soul usually just led to frustration and unmet quotas. Yet...

"Damn it," she mumbled to herself, "Just one, ok? I want to see you get just one good run. You deserve it, after everything I've put you through... So, hang in there. Even the most unlucky soul will eventually win... right?" 

Unconvinced by her own pep-talk, she sighed again, and turned off the Soul-Incarnation Terminal for the day. Sometimes, not even gods have the stomach to watch what comes next.
