After a grueling day of report writing and presentations, Mr. Porter sighed a breath of relief when he could finally leave the office. “Have a good night, Mr.Porter” said one of his junior Jane, whom he had a crush on. “Curry Katsu, that’s what I’ll have for dinner, before heading towards his favorite restaurant to order takeout”. In the corner of his eye, he saw a teenage kid, headphones plugged in and eyes solely focused on his phone. Meanwhile, the light was about to turn red. “Hey kid, you can’t cross the street” Mr. Porter shouted. But the child wouldn’t listen. His eyes filled with horror as he saw a truck coming by, while the child was already halfway over the road. Without thinking, Porter leaped right in front of the child, hands spread right open in a T-formation, signaling the truck driver to stop.

The truck never stopped.

Death should be painful. Porter always feared death, But did he regret his actions.No, he did what was right. He couldn’t let another person suffer the same fate as his parents did.

“Phew, that was tough! Yo Eden thanks for the help ” Sekkai grinned at Eden, who removed his headphones from his head. “Buy me ice cream, mango ice cream! Ya know we ghost don't work for free you meanie!” Getting out of his truck, Sekkai patted Eden on the back and said “Let’s go to Mangogo Fruit Cafe after work?”, which elicited a delightful gasp from Eden.

“I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this work. Although Mara told me it’s for the best, I can’t help but feel responsible for killing someone. Although we had to make sure Mr. Porter was a good person, tricking him to believe he saved a kid while it was all for nothing seems a bit devious. Oh well, it’s all Mara’s fault anyway. Hopefully Mr. Porter is doing well in his new life” With that train of thought, Sekkai got back into his truck and checked his messages.

Mara: Hey what’s taking so long you sneezebag. There’s a new order in 10 minutes. You better get your ass to Buggles Street right now or I’m cutting your pay!

“Sigh, as if the job wasn’t mentally stressing enough, my boss has to be one of the most vile and evil person in the world. Wish she would just get Isekaied too."
