Manager: you're to guide that little boy's soul.
Kana: I have question. Can't I meet him in person to talk to him.
Manager: No!! Its forbidden.
Kana: it's just talking. What's so bad about that!!
Manager: It's a taboo to do so.
Kana: But can't we make contact with him so he'd be happy. That way he'd come along willing. (Nah I just want to talk with him.)
Manager: Why can't you follow the rules. Last time you helped a little girl at the crosswalk. And got banned for 200 years from coming to the human world.
Kana: she almost got hit by a car.
Manager: She was supposed to die then! How is that your a death god but you make our work pile up more.
Kana: right so you just want me to take the boy's soul.
Manager: I'm your 156 manager you better not screw this one up.
Kana watched as the grey haired old man in a black suit disappear. She let out a sigh as she stared at the little boy in the hospital. Rather she stared at her file.
Kana: Age 10 John Clover. Was admitted when he was 5 years old due to a weak heart. Then spent rest of his life in the hospital. I so want to take him out to play.........but old geezer said the boy only had 2 more days at the most. Hm maybe I'll go talk a bit in human form with him.
A smile spread across Kana's face as she put on a red cap and wore gym clothes. She had flowers in her hand as she walked up to the reception desk of the hospital.
Nurse: how may I help you?
Kana: I'm a relative of John Clover. I wish to go visit him.
Nurse: I'm sorry but it says here that his only relative is his parents.
Kana let out a sigh and snapped her fingers.
Nurse: oh I'm sorry miss Kana I will allow you to visit. Dear me how'd I forget that you visit him all the time.
Kana went to the 3rd floor to room 309. She entered and saw the frail skinny 10 year old boy staring out the window bored. His red short hair wasn't combed and the hospital robe made him look more smaller than his actual size.
John: who are you?
Kana: a visitor interested in you.
John: why would a pretty black haired lady like you be interested in me.
Kana: Because I wish to talk with you.
John: what's so interesting about me.
Kana: Are you enjoying the hospital?
John: depends.....
Kana: I'll take that as a no. What if I said I can let you out of here.
John: as if you could do that. (This lady is insane)
Kana: what if I told you I can.
John: YOU'RE LYING. YOU WONT EVEN MAKE IT PAST THE NURSES.
Kana: so if I make it pass them then what?
John: then I'll go with you.
Kana: how about I take you with me on a walk.
John stare at Kana in surprise. She smiled at him as she pulled his arm as she led him out of the hospital.
John: how was it possible that none of them saw us going past them.
Kana: that's a secret. (No I just did mass hypnotism.) Now lets go play.

John: you're here for a different reason aren't you. Also you look sad, your expression looks forced.
Kana: I'm not forcing myself. I do enjoy talking to you.
Manager: KANA!!!
Kana: seems I was caught.
Manager: For not doing your job of watching the soul, but instead breaking the rules. Clause 45 of paragraph 567 talking with the humans in your physical form is forbidden. Paragraph 689 making physical contact with the soul you are assigned is taboo.
Kana: But aren't we also here to make sure they enjoy their lives.
Manager: since I can't make a choice a lone.
Kana: Let me guess. The higher ups are fed up with me breaking rules one right after the other.
Manager: if you know why do so.
Kana: unlike the rest of you I was born as a death god instead of being human fist. But I never wished for it.
Manager: also misuse of powers for petty reasons.
Kana: let them try their worst then.
Manager: you know I had high hopes for you when I heard about your past record.
Kana: well too bad 600 years of guiding souls has taken it's toll.
She was surprised when she was pulled into a brightly lit room. Her eyes widen as she saw 10 of the elders standing before her. They felt eerie to her as usual because they always had those hoods and those crow masks on.
Elder 1: I see she hasn't learned from the last time she broke the rules. Helping the girl from dying when it was her time at the cross walk.
Elder 2(female): Her excuse was I didn't wish to see the bloodied body when there are others walking pass me.
Elder 3: Wasn't on a whim?
Elder 4: Guess she can't learn unless we make her do the dirty work for once. Plus she did want to stay in the human world.
Elder 5: So as judged it's killing the souls that are to die instead of guiding. Those that do have to live in the human world and blend in. All in favor.
Kana winced since she didn't like the idea as all the elders nodded. She didn't wish to take life from humans. Though she didn't enjoy guiding the souls to the afterlife or their next life.
Manager: Guess this is good bye then. I won't see you again then.
He sighed as if it were a pity, she watched stun as he walked away depressed.
Elder 2: How about we reborn her instead without memories that'll be less problematic.
They started arguing as they all glared at the only female member. Because she was the one with the final decision when it came down to choices.
Elder 2: That way she will learn when she comes back to us then.
Kana: Hey don't I have a say if you erase my memories or not.
Elder 1: if we did that we wouldn't know what world she might end up in.
Elder 2: It's not like we have a choice this is her 567 time she's broken rules.
Elders: guess it can't be helped.
Kana: wait don't I have any say in this.
Elders: No.
