It was just Hatsyoudo's luck that the day his first history lesson started was the day his guide book on questions ended, leaving him with a few odd questions that he was waiting to have answered; His biggest one would be solved that very same day.

As Everyone in Classroom 6A piled in to that day's History classroom, Hatsyoudo noticed that Aoi was nowhere to be seen. Naturally, Hatsyoudo thought nothing of it and decided to brush it off as something random, Like that she was late for class...

As Hatsyoudo was finishing this thought, an old man with a brown leather coat swiftly walked into the chatter-filled classroom.

"Scholars," He started, Emitting a strict voice suggesting he was not to be messed about with. "Today, we are discussing an extensive subject, one that you have all gone through. One that every person in Ginosullivan shall go through, In which you all are no exception. One that you will once again face off and wrestle. This subject, is, of course--Death."

Suddenly, the old man softened his face into a smile. "Oh, Dear... How do the strict teachers do it? I feel so old fashioned right now... I apologies for my...untimely behavior. As I was saying--Ah! A new student!" The old man immediately took notice of Hatsyoudo. "What's your name, young man?... Hatsyoudo! Ah! Opulent! Amazing! Allow me to introduce myself! I'm Mr. Hildebrand! I'm the History teacher...Ah, you don't need to know that! You're in this classroom right now! Anyway, shall I continue the lesson? Well then, as I was saying..."

Just as it seemed that Mr. Hildebrand had finally gotten through, Aoi swiftly walked into the classroom with three people trailing behind her.

"We have three new scholars joining us today," Aoi said to Mr. Hildebrand as she ushered his attention to her. "Shall I introduce them?"

"Ah, Yes!" Mr. Hildebrand replied. "Splendid! Super...Superb!! Please, Introduce yourself, scholars! Be my Guest!"

"This one hear is Jahseā," Aoi started, not missing a beat. She was pointing to a boy with short black hair. Aoi then immediately launched back into the introductions; It was pretty obvious she wanted to get through them fast, and she could also see that Mr. Hildebrand had the same idea. "This one hear is Haganezuka." Aoi continued, pointing to a boy with flowing, brown hair, identical to Hatsyoudo's.

"And finally, this one's named Emma." Aoi was indicating a girl with long, orange hair--Not very orange, a bit of a light, porcelain orange, mixed with a hint of grey. She was pretty, but seemed very modest.

"Amazing!" Mr. Hildebrand reacted. While it looked like he was excited about all of the new students, Hatsyoudo had a feeling that Mr. Hildebrand was just happy to continue his lesson. He'd seen so many people arrive at the Nexus, to him it was as normal as brushing his teeth in the morning.

"Well then! Let's get back to the lesson..."

***

When god created Ginosullivan he designed it so that he could immediatly sort his people into their rightful dimension. Becuase of this, he never bothered making the Humans in it immortal. All god did was make their bodies more durable. However, when god lost access to Ginosullivan, all of the newly arriving humans were doomed to once again die. Except this time, they would just become trapped in their own dead concious.

People in Ginosullivan were given a lifespan of about 2000 years.

"In Heaven, death is much different," Mr. Hildebrand continued. "When you are sent there, you have a choice to choose when you die."

"Why would we want to die?" Hatsyoudo asked Mr. Hildebrand, Confused.

Mr. Hildebrand slowly shifted his wise, old eyes over to Hatsyoudo.

"Child, there's only so much life we were built to handle."
