          You rubbed your eyes in a tired manner and yawned, making the skeletons stop their conversation and give you a concered look. You had been chilling in the after life for a very long time now according to Reaper. Days seem like they never end here, and a single day here is only a minute in the living world. 

Swap was placed next to you and tilted his head at you. "Human, Are You Tired?" He asked in a calm tone, just in case you were tired. He wouldn't want to startle you into being awake. You only groaned and fell back wards, letting your back and head roughly hit the back void that was the ground. You covered you eyes with each hand, though the abyss was dark, it seemed to be so bright in a way, and it annoyed you so much.

You heard someone sigh and shuffle themselves in their spot, chuckling a little. "Well, that's to be expected. Humans are very different when they die. When monsters die, their soul completely breaks while human souls are stripped from them and stored somewhere up in the heavens, where they will either give the soul to a new born baby or they will give it back to the original person when they are revived." You heard Reaper say. Your arms flopped out to the side of you and you let your head tilt to the side, staring at the void as you thought. Eventually you sat up, pushing up with your arms and letting them sit behind you, you gave Reaper a queer look.

"So, you're saying that if I don't get revived in time, my soul could be given to someone else?" You asked him, making his skull turn to you. You shivered, his empty eyes never failed to scare you. He shrugged and gave you a lazy smile.

"Yeah, but knowing Dream, he wouldn't have done that without knowing how to get your soul back to you." He explained, quickly 'blinking' and letting his eye lights come into view. You were settled a little by this but it still scared you that you were talking to death himself, you really never thought you'd meet him so early on in your life.

You shook your head and cleared you mind of those thoughts, bringing you back to the now time. "But what if he didn't? What will happen to me then? Do I get a new soul or do I go back up to the surface without one at all, and what would that feel like?" You asked, tilting your head and leaning it towards Reaper, letting your arms push you ever so slightly closer to him. Instead of backing up, he leaned in as well, an amused look on his face, he thought it was cute how you were relying on him for information you had no idea about.

"Well, first things first, one question at a time." He sighed and leaned away from you, making you jump back after realizing how close you two had originally been. You looked away from Reaper, tilting your head to the side lazily. You looked up and saw Swap looking at you, making you two lock eyes. You gave him a soft smile before looking back over to Reaper. "If Dream somehow didn't go up and break into heaven, I'd imagine he would have a back up plan to get you your soul back. If he did, I should be expecting a new born infant in the after life very soon." You straightened your back with a jump, how could he say that so causually!?

"Wait, are you implying that Dream would kill an infant just so I could get my soul back!?" You shouted, slightly covering your mouth with your hand. Reaper bobbed his head to the side to signal a yes, making you look down to the floor in disbelief. "No, he wouldn't do that..." You whispered, thinking to yourself. "Would he?" Reaper cleared his throat and looked off to the side with bashful look, making you drag your view upwards and back onto him.

"Well he did kill you-!"

"Reaper!" Geno slapped the god upside his head, making Reaper clutch it as his hood fell off his skull. Reaper looked back at Geno, screaming a 'what? I'm right!' in response. While those two started an aurgument, you looked back down to the floor and started to pick at invisible grass, your mind only flooded with the terrible though that Dream would kill a baby just to give you your soul back.
