The fluorescent lights of Death's office hum a low, sterile note, casting long shadows across the polished floor. Dust motes dance in the thin beam slicing through a half-closed blind. Maka stands rigid near her father, Spirit, who fidgets with his tie. Across the room, Stein is a statue in his white lab coat, the screw in his head catching a glint of light as he slowly turns it. Lord Death breaks the silence, his voice flat. "Ah, you. You're here, good." Stein's glasses flash, but he says nothing yet.
