"You."

"Yes, me."

"You're back."

"Yup."

"Why?"

"Because you want to kill yourself, kid, and I've been summoned by Big Ol' Papa to follow you around so that I can collect your soul the moment you die. I don't like being late to my job."

"That's a dark way of putting it."

"Says the one holding the knife."

"Are you really even Death? Like, the real deal?"

"What kind of question is that?"

"I mean, you're so hipster and... um, more like a dank meme master."

"What, did you think I'll be a gloomy emo kind of guy?"

"Yeah."

"What the hell, kid."

"Is it because you read so many books out there that make me look like some dark and evil kind of guy? I mean, I can be dark and evil when I want to, but I'm usually not. I like telling puns. Dark and evil puns."

"Yeah, that definitely did not sound like something Death would say."

"Okay, I'll admit, I was pretty much a gloomy emo guy two thousand years ago, but I've upgraded to version 2.0."

"What?"

"What do you mean by 'What'? Isn't that what you kids nowadays say when you upgrade something? Like, when you upgrade it to Version Whatever?"

"I'm pretty sure what you're talking about is for computers, not beings."

"Whatever, same difference."

"..."

"You're annoying, but interesting."

"So I've been told. In a good way or bad way?"

"..."

"I'm not sure yet but, we'll see."
