(Where...where am I? Last I remember, I grabbed for Nova, and then...it was really hot. I wonder if my...my...where are my arms? Where's my body? I guess...it didn't work, huh? Dead...damn it all! My second chance and I blew it! Guess there's a line, and a pretty long one at that. I can't believe Nova did that! I just really hope it works, that all this wasn't for nothing.)
Benetto Giri, or at the very least the small spirit now functioning as his form slowly floated through the line as soul after soul was sorted. Finally, he reached the end, and beheld a sight he never expected to see. A red ogre, (It had to be red, of all things...) massive, larger than buildings, sat before him. The legendary King Yemma, ruler of the afterlife. Benetto suddenly felt very small and insignificant.
"King Yemma, you wish to hear my greatest and worst deeds? My worst is the easiest. Nine years ago, almost to this day, I ran. My father wanted nothing more than for me to be perfect, and I wasn't. I disappointed his vision of a proper Giri, so I ran. I left the whole family behind, I lived on my own, I spent nine years not knowing if they were okay, or if there was trouble. I missed seeing Sasha and Cassie grow up, and from what I hear, there's another little one I've never even seen! If you want my worst deed, that is the one that weighs on me the heaviest."
"As for my good deeds, I have fought to protect the citizens of South Capitol. I have done my best to help small criminals turn their lives around before it was too late. My greatest might just be the way I died. The last moments of my life were spent fighting a terrible android, launching myself at an impossibly strong foe, just to try to save the man who may have doomed us all, Captain Nova. I tried to save him because I'd never be able to live with myself if I didn't try. Guess I can't live with myself now that I have, though, huh?"
"Also, King Yemma? If I may make just one request, could I watch the events of the battle with Realigner Red come to a close? My sister is still down there, and I...I need to know if she made it." Benetto stood, awaiting his final judgement.
