"You killed yourself yet you're still crying?"
Chiye's brown eyes widened, she had been sitting on the ground, face in her knees as she had them hugged to her chest. What was that voice? No who? Turning back, Chiye got a glimpse of her own body, bloated and wet from after she had jumped into the rapids; aiming to end her life. She had succeeded successfully, it was over now, or was it...why was...why was it not just dark? Why was she sitting here crying over her corpse.
"You...who are you!?" Chiye asked, turning she now faced the silhouette, scootching away from it, "Where am I?!"
What seemed to be a child no older than eight looked over at her. Her eyes where dull but not cold, just...empty, emotionless, "Lets think about this logically. You're a smart girl, aren't you?" The h/c haired stranger turned her body, looking down at Chiye's form on the ground, "You killed yourself by jumping into the river, your body is there." She said, pointing at Chiye's bloated body, "But you are here." The stranger said pointing at Chiye, "So you are...?"
"A-A ghost?"
"Ghosts are spirts that live in the physical realm, though you are no mere spirit either." The stranger explained, "You're a grim reaper now."
Chesnut eyes widening, Chiye opened her mouth, yet no words came out, only choked sounds.
"Those who kill themselves become reapers for a few hundred years, and only after their souls feel fulfilled, or I force them to move on; only then can they reincarnate." The stranger explained, not missing a beat, "I'm Death, or Shi, or Y/n, whatever you wish to call me I could not care less."
"I-Is this..." Tears finally started streaming down Chiyes face again as she sobbed, getting the will to speak again, "Is this divine punishment, for being selfish and killing myself?"
Y/n didn't speak for a few moments, only staring at Chiye for a few moments before looking the other way, "I truthfully do not know."
"How could you not know!?" Chiye yelled, letting out her rage on someone who only looked like a mere child, sobbing, "Aren't you death!? You did this to me, didn't you! I just wanted to die! I just wanted-" the pink haired reaper stopped, taken aback as Y/n looked back at her.
