Aita was late. So late. But he didn't care as he walked down the street, eating his apple. It was red, red like blood. Too bad he couldn't spill blood in this job. Hunting down ghosts was mostly ectoplasm, but he enjoyed it nonetheless.

“No, you’re not in a hospital. You might say you just left the hospital.” Placing his hand on the young boys back, he walked him out the door. Instead of walking out onto the sidewalk, they exited onto to beach, turning around, the door they had just exited was the door to exotics food restaurant.

Estella's panic was rising, and she spun around again, running from the room and out into the open.

Just left the hospital? But that didn't make any sense. Robin looked down at himself. Nothing. No smoke, no injuries. Nothing. His breath caught in his throat. So that meant he was… "Am… a-am I dead?"

"Aita!" Yomo said, narrowing his eyes as Aita entered the discussion room.
"Sorry, Yomo-san, I was hungry." Aita grinned. The others started talking among themselves. Smidges of conversation reached Aita's ears as he leaned against the wall. "Youngest…..Only person in the lowest rank…..made it here…is he human…why did Yomo say he needed to come…Aita? Wasn't he the one…blood…enjoying it!" He laughed to himself, what they didn't know couldn't hurt them.

“Well, if you don’t wake up in the morning, then you are.” Looking aver the vast ocean, he finished, “You can stay here, boy, or leave with me to your new home.”

Yomo headed to the pedastal, "As you all know, ghost levels have risen in the past couple years. We think it's due not to the influx of deaths, but because of a being."

Robin's eyes welled up with tears. No… he couldn't be dead! What about Grayson? And Timothy? And his parents? "N-new home?"

(Are u dead or alive?)

I'm alive.

“You must know about the After life? Didn’t your parents teach you about that place?”

Aita didn't bother listening to much after that. He was the organization's secret weapon, he just did what they told him to do. Maybe he got a bit off track, but Aita didn't mind being a puppet.

"They… didn't talk about death much…" Robin wasn't sure how to feel about this whole ordeal. His house burned down, he's dead, and now he's going to the afterlife? It all just felt like a horrible nightmare. Except he couldn't wake up from it in the morning,

He pulled at the two stitches at the corner of his eye and mussed up his hair, incredibly bored. "Board meetings are always so long, Yomo-san."

“You can stay here on earth, and play as a guardian angel for your living family members? If you want to stay here, it’s your choice.”

(no problem! so, what should she do?)

The corner of Yomo's mouth twitched, "Yes, yes, Aita, but we must sit through them." he reached over and tousled Aita's hair.

"S-so I could still see them? And… I dunno… affect things around them? Can I see other people who choose that option? H-how many people do that?"

Aita smiled, heart lifting. Yomo smiled too, "Aita, you have to listen to be prepared."
"I'll always be prepared, Yomo-san." Aita leaned on the wall.
Yomo nodded, "Maybe physically." he tapped Aita's head, "But not mentally."

“Not a lot of people choose to stay on earth… And yes, you can see them, and… uh… slightly change what’s going on around them… but not like moving objects..” Looking back down on him, he finished, “ You can help then find things, put thoughts in their heads, help them from doing stupid things, stuff like that… I’m not a ghost so I don’t know all the things you can do, that’s for you to find out.”
