… What is it that you see before you…?
Nothing.
Look again, it may look like nothing but just try to picture it.
Nothing. Still.
*Sigh* You’re not understanding what I mean.
Can I open my eyes now…?
Huh?
Is this really necessary?
Of course it is. Now… Just observe the patterns you see.
Oh, I see what you mean now.
Tell me what you see.
I think… I see… people?
Mhm, keep going…
No, wait… They’re more like…
Souls?
…
I’ll take that as a yes. How many?
…Fifteen?
Interesting.
It’s fading though…
That’s perfectly normal. But it’s good that we know how many we need.
We need fifteen of what?
Not fifteen, sixteen. And souls.
I don’t get it, where does the last one come from?
Are you forgetting someone?
Is that a rhetorical question?
…
So I’m forgetting someone.
Willing to try to guess? Or should I just spell it out for you?
It’s me isn’t it?
Mhm.
Damn.
I’m not here to harvest your soul.
Then what are the sixteen souls for?
You’ll see… Very soon… Very… Very soon…
…?
You can open your eyes now.
