The Price of a Soul

It is the job of Grim Reapers to collect the Souls of those who are about to die, the process of which draws out their life force.

Grim Reapers are neutral - they must have no mercy, and show no sympathy. Timing is crucial. Don't think twice.

But there is this fresh-faced Grim Reaper who hesitates at the last second while hovering over the body of a young girl. This girl, who has been on the verge of death, is spared due to that hesitation, and she pulls through.

The Grim Reaper is bemused by his own reactions, yet something tugs at him, yearning for him to remember.
