#Chapter128
I stood there, as Theo - no, DEATH - was towering over me, their intense eyes resting on me with their question still lingering around us.
/"Shall we open it?/" As if it would be a matter of choice.
/"I am... I am not sure I know how to./" I confessed after the silence got too heavy, and I watched as Death smiled again, more light-hearted this time. They passed by me, taking my side, letting one of their gloved palms resign on my shoulder.
/"With the utmost respect, Chaos... Does it ever stop you, that you don't know what you are doing?/" their words sounded mocking, yet there was no trace of ridicule in his tone. When I turned to the side, to meet those green eyes, they were glistening with certainty and a drop of humour.
/"I will try not to take this personally./"
/"Was not meant as judgement./" they reassured me, and though I had no reason to, I believed them immediately.
