Another day at work, before receiving my daily assignment I look in the mirror. Round blue eyes, long straight blonde hair, usually tied up in a ponytail so it doesn't get in the way, naturally some blush on my skin. My uniform fits me perfectly, a long-sleeved blazer with the Élenkos insignia next to the chest, over a white blouse, I keep my sleeves rolled up most of the time, together with the blazer I wear a short skirt, ¾ socks and comfortable shoes with low heels, so as not to hurt my feet. At first glance, I look like a secretary, but I'm actually a special agent! After checking my appearance as usual, I leave the bathroom and go to find Thanatos (he almost always knows what our next mission is.) Along the corridors of the agency it's quite common for me to be greeted by several people, I must admit that some of them I don't even recognize, but I'm not going to be disrespectful, I greet them with a smile on my face (I must always be kind). Well, it's different with Thanatos, he doesn't say hello not even to anyone he knows, he should try to maintain a better image, it's also important for civilians. It doesn't take long to find him, after all, with his physiognomy, it's not hard to recognize him (who wouldn't see a huge back in a crowd?). Not to mention his red eyes, which even seem to glow in the dark. If I wasn't stronger than him, I'd definitely be scared of him:
"Good morning, Thanatos" - I pat him on the back, even realizing how tiny my hand is compared to him.
"Good morning, Plumm" - He replies, with a smile
"Are you in a good mood?" - Certainly, Thanatos smiling is something unusual
"No, nothing much" - he shrugged
"Anyway, what have we got for today?"
"Hmm" - He looks at the papers he's holding - "Remember that investigation we did a few weeks ago? It seems that the agency managed to get something out of it and a new location has been found for us to investigate."
"Perfect! What are we waiting for?" - I run out to the door of the agency.
"CALM DOWN! I didn't even tell you where it is!" - He runs after me

As expected of the two strongest agents, we finished exploring the site and arrested all the criminals found in the building. It looked like some kind of parking lot, or unfinished shopping mall, that had been taken over by some members of the faction we were investigating. I was getting ready to go back to the agency, we were on one of the top floors of the building, which was quite high up:
"Hey, Plumm."
"Hi?" - I didn't even turn to Thanatos, who stood behind me as I headed for the unfinished stairs
"Every time I tell you this, you act the same way, but do you trust me?"
"Of course, Thanatos" - I continue walking
"Do you know why you're so strong, Plumm, have you ever wondered that?"
"Well, if we were to consider it like a lottery, I thought it was as if I'd won a jackpot."
"Your reasoning isn't wrong, but... actually it's because..." - Thanatos was strangely distressed, I decided to stop walking - "Every time you die, you become stronger"
I remain static, still not turning in his direction. Hah. Anyone who heard that would call him crazy. But not me. I've been Thanatos' teammate for a few years now. He doesn't lie. He doesn't mess around. Even less so, he doesn't make fun of people's feelings. At least, that's how he's always been with me. And that was the worst of it. Thanatos wasn't lying, and I knew it:
"stronger" - I remained silent, contemplating what he had just said - "stronger than a weapon?"
Thanatos remained silent for a while, I could feel his sadness, his bitterness, in that simple silence:

Fantasy"Every time you die, you get stronger", as soon as Plumm hears this damn phrase she doesn't think twice and kills herself. Thus, everything restarts all over again, and again... and again.
