: : Chapter 7 : : I've Been Living for so Long

"Hey."

"Hay is for horses."

"..."

"It's been six days- seven, counting today- since I've last seen you."

"Well, I have a busy job, you know. I have to collect the dead and stuff them into hell."

"..."

"Tell me something."

"Anything."

"Why do you get more and more sarcastic the more I meet you?"

"Because I'm learning from all over. I'm here to perfect my sarcastic skills so that I can one day become a meme maker or something."

"..."

"Tell me something else."

"What is it this time?"

"..."

"Are you secretly a therapist who calls himself Death?"

"..."

"You... you figured out my greatest secret."

"I knew it. I knew you were going to say something sarcastic."

"Then why did you ask if you already knew?"

"Because things can happen unexpectedly. Sometimes people change. At the end of the day, I think it's not what you have done but who you are that defines you."

"..."

"Wow, kid, that was pretty unexpected. I wasn't prepared to hear something deep like that."

"I'm good at being deep."

"And now you're turning the conversation sexual."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"I feel like you have something more to say to me than that."

"..."

"Um... about last time..."

"What about it?"

"..."

"What exactly did you mean when you said you had a similar situation as I did?"

"..."

"I'll tell you one day, but today's not the day."

"Why not?"

"Because somethings are better left unsaid."
