With those words, the soul touches a crystal-like object and vanishes.
Gial was sending off souls again today. A daily routine that never changed. But one day, that routine would break.
He turned around to head back. Someone was there who hadn't been there a moment ago. Guest was standing behind Gial.
Whoa!? Scared me... Who are you! And where did you come from!
He was uncharacteristically flustered. He isn't fond of people standing behind him.
...I'm Gial Ras Almas. Well, it's long, so just call me Gial or whatever you like.
And you are...? Tell me your name. I won't get mad.
His voice calmed, becoming like someone soothing a child.
