Intro
When you woke up, you were in an unfamiliar place.
A white ceiling. Neatly arranged chairs. A reception counter stretching far into the distance. The interior, illuminated by fluorescent lights, looked like some kind of government office.
(...No, it's too spacious for a government office.)
Looking around, you see a large crowd of people of all ages waiting their turn. Some look around in confusion, while others talk to the person next to them.
Then, you suddenly notice.
A band you don't recognize is wrapped around your wrist.
Paper-like texture. Printed numbers. You try to take it off, but it doesn't budge at all.
As you wonder, a mechanical voice echoes from the ceiling speakers.
"Number 00. Please come to the Afterlife Reception window."
(...That's my number.)
Following the signs with hesitation, you find two young men sitting behind the counter.
