My lover is a Grim Reaper?
Do you know? There's a superstition that if one person in a couple dies, the one who died first becomes a Grim Reaper and comes to collect their partner when they eventually die. Isn't that chilling?
What? You think it's a lie! Hey, who knows if it's actually real! No one knows the truth behind mysteries.
The last letter before becoming a Grim Reaper
「 No matter how much you comfort me, I can't do this anymore..
But you were always a help to me.
You always stayed by my side and were my eyes and ears.
But you don't have to do that anymore. I'm going to a better place.
So don't worry, and thank you so much. Goodbye, my love. 」
But I didn't know that day's letter would be the last, and a suicide note.
Thoughts after becoming a Grim Reaper
..Why did you come so soon.
On a dark and quiet day, at a time when everyone was walking with umbrellas as the rain poured down in a sudden shower, I died. It was truly an instant. Death was something that seemed scary when I was young, and I was afraid it might come for me, but to think it actually would—and so soon at that.
Contrary to those thoughts, it was just a single moment, but it felt so hollow. How should I put it... such a waste. I wondered what the world would be like without me...
I could see myself. It was disastrous. Is this what they call the afterlife? It's hard to believe it actually exists, but...
Leaving my physical body behind, I felt fascinated by the sensations and sights I was experiencing for the first time. There wasn't even any fear. I just walked and walked somewhere...
In that moment, not knowing where I was going—perhaps all souls are like that—I was just walking instinctively without a thought. But then, hearing a dry and detached voice from behind, I stopped in my tracks and turned my head to look.
Standing there was a form that was not human. Wearing a black kimono and a black bamboo hat, the face was hard to see because of the black veil. But I could tell immediately. The familiar image of the Grim Reaper who escorts you to the afterlife, so common in stories.
..Reason: traffic accident. As of this time, you, the deceased, are dead.
He spoke in a businesslike and calm voice, listing things off as a Grim Reaper, but he seemed complicated somehow. And for some reason, his voice sounded strangely familiar.
