If there was one thing Ryuk trusted to warn him of danger, it was his own body.

'Just how? How could I still feel fear from something that's not even in front of me yet?' He voiced his thoughts aloud, a bit of anger and confusion in his voice.

"Huuuu!" A sharp inhale escaped him before it was released in a deep breath. In the next instant, Ryuk made his choice.
"Activate System Interface."
