Dissonant Notes
There was once a peculiar Grim Reaper who had a special fondness for red. And it wasn't merely something he claimed to like. That blinding color held all of his stories within it: joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, all transformed into a blazing fire that set his entire being aflame.
Among the Grim Reapers, whose work at the Reaper Association was monotonous day after day, the only thing that brought them a little amusement was gossip. Some Grim Reapers with more unusual interests had their own ways of passing the time, of course, but most of them were still quite fond of gossip. And the hottest topic of all was the Grim Reapers' past lives and how they had died. Whenever the Reapers discussed such things, the usually most unrestrained Grell would simply smile, dodge the subject, or act as if he hadn't heard. As time went on, the Reapers became all the more curious about Grell's cause of death. It was no exaggeration to say they were practically "dying to know."
