3RD PERSON POV

Y/N: Family?

Mayu: Y-Yeah.....

After a week, Mayu was comfortable enough to talk with everyone. She even let out a smile a couple of times, exciting everyone as she now could stay at Y/N's house. Meanwhile Jed won the court case against Mayu's parents and now the dad has to go to jail and Mayu's mom has to pay compensation. She kept arguing to arrest Y/N for assaulting her husband but considering the fact that cameras showed him walking from the bridge with the girls out of sight to their front door and walking back while there was no info of a Y/N in the database, they all looked at her as if she was crazy.

Y/N: My family......*smile* They were nice. Mom always cared for me...dad always worked but loved us all...my big sister always had my back....it was all good...

He lets out a sad sigh...remembering the good old days.

Y/N: And they died.....one drunk driver while I was at home......I was all alone...and then I died to a drunk driver myself....

Shoka: O-Oh.........

They all sat in a circle, sharing their stories.

Y/N: What's your dog's name?

Mayu: W-Wanta.

Shouko: *smile* That iz a nize name.

Mayu: Thank you...

Y/N: Kaede.....what about your parents?

Kaede: I-I don't know who they are.....

Y/N: I'll ask Jed to look into it.

Shouko: M-My mom waz nize......util she sole me off.

Y/N: Yeah that's sadly true....

Shoka: My dad is a fucking abuser and my mom is in a mental hospital because of him.

They were taken aback by her blunt attitude as her face darkens.






Y/N: Can I kill him?

Everyone: Y/N NO!

Y/N: Y/N YES!....Alright I'm just kidding.

Shoka pouts as Y/N dematerializes his shotgun.

Yuzuru: Y/N you said you're our caretaker but.....how does that work?

Mayu: Caretaker?


Y/N: Well.....it's a long story.

Later

Y/N begins explaining everything that involved him as everyone listens.

Y/N: In the multiverse there has been many disturbances that Jed is working to fix. These disturbances are the result of impure souls or ones that are filled with negative intent. If there's too much impure souls the universe will be corrupted with some strange energy....I don't really understand it but if there's too much corrupted energy the worlds become unstable and if it continues on its current path the entire universe collapses onto itself.

Shoka: *scared* S-So my world-

Y/N: But luckily by removing one soul from each world, the negativity immediately stabilizes and the world will continue to be stable for 5000 years before the cycle repeats.....but there's a catch.

Yuzuru: Remove a soul?

Y/N: A fancy way of saying take care of them.

Shouko: Cach?

Kaede: What catch?

Y/N: *sigh* The people collected have to fit a general but specific requirement. First.....they're gonna have to have a shitty life and gone through abuse.
