" Harming the souls isn't an option, I'm afraid.
I'm the one who's meant to be looking over them after all.

So! I suppose option A will have to do.
Though, of course, I can't guarantee that as a success. "

An eyebrow raised

" Remains to be seen.
I've only ever taken real souls into my realm.

Are you certain you want to take such a risk?
Neither of us know what could happen.

Your stay could wind up being permanent, for all we know. "

Putting their hands together

" No, unfortunately not.

I can only take souls to my realm. Once something dies and its soul is released, then I can take them.

I'm not sure if you would even have a soul - Would you?
Sometimes it's a little up in the air when it comes to metal beings. 50/50 chance. "

Except, I don't believe machines such as yourself age, do they? "

They chuckle to themself.

" They go to my realm, to be amongst other souls that have passed on. "

GT's observation amused them, almost making them laugh.

" Really? That fast?
Nobody ever gets it right away. "

Oftentimes even the deceased don't put two and two together when they first meet.

Thana isn't the image most people expect from the Reaper.

" But, yes.

dealing with the animal's spirit, she knew first-hand that it was k!lled by a natural predator. Not this machine.

So, curiosity would get the better of her, and she'd return once the soul was in its rightful place.

Quietly, as death often comes.

Or, maybe there was.

Thana had gotten curious as to why someone - Or something - Had been lurking around near the corpse.

Thankfully, animals are among those she can communicate with. But she would be doing so on the spiritual plane, as opposed to openly.

Would GT still be able to sense her presense?

Less a gift, more of something that comes with the territory.

Finger snap!

" And sometimes, I remember! "

Cue their body disappearing into a cloud of black smoke.
Now, it would be reforming on a more elevated surface.

It's easier to talk at eye level.
