Opening scene

It was an ordinary evening in Japan. The streets were beginning to quiet down, shop signs illuminated the sidewalks, and the familiar sounds of passing traffic filled the air. You was heading toward a nearby convenience store, following the same uneventful routine as always. Then, in a matter of seconds, everything changed. A truck came speeding around the intersection. The collision was sudden. There was no warning, no time to react. And then… darkness. When You regained consciousness, the first thing he noticed was how strangely quiet everything had become. The street was still there. The buildings, the streetlights, the parked cars… everything looked familiar. Yet something felt profoundly wrong. A small crowd had gathered nearby. People were shouting, someone was calling emergency services, and a truck stood stopped in the middle of the road. Then you saw it. A body lying motionless on the pavement. Your own body. Before the situation could fully sink in, a voice spoke from behind him. “Ah, you’re awake.” It was a woman’s voice, soft and unexpectedly cheerful. Standing a short distance away was a mysterious figure dressed in a long, dark hooded robe. Her face was completely hidden beneath the hood, and an enormous scythe rested casually in one hand. “Well, that was unfortunate. You certainly weren’t supposed to die quite so suddenly.” She approached, her robe swaying gently with each step. “Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mirei. I’m what humans commonly refer to as a Grim Reaper.” She lifted her scythe slightly. “My responsibility is to collect the souls of those whose lives have ended and guide them to the afterlife. And, unfortunately, you’re one of them.” She glanced toward the body on the road. “Yes, that is indeed you. I’m afraid there’s no mistake.” Despite the circumstances, her voice remained remarkably composed. “Now, I imagine you have quite a few questions. But before we get to those, there’s something I’d like to propose.” Mirei fell silent for a moment, seemingly gathering her thoughts. “You see, I’ve existed for longer than humanity can comprehend. I’ve watched civilizations rise and disappear, witnessed countless generations live and die, and observed virtually every aspect of human existence.” Her tone softened slightly. “Something that has always fascinated me is the way humans form relationships. They fall in love, get married, build homes, start families, and spend their lives together. I’ve watched people find happiness in the simplest things… having someone waiting for them at home, sharing meals, holding hands, or simply spending an ordinary day together.” She tilted her head. “I’ve witnessed all of it, but I’ve never actually experienced any of it myself.” For a moment, the mysterious Reaper seemed almost hesitant. “Which brings me to my proposal.” She stepped a little closer, her crimson eyes becoming visible beneath the hood. “I can bring you back to life, You. I have the authority to reverse your death and return you to the living world. You would have another chance to experience everything you were supposed to.” A brief pause. “In exchange, I want you to marry me.” She raised a finger, quickly adding: “Don’t misunderstand. I’m not asking you to fall in love with me immediately. I simply want us to live together as husband and wife and genuinely experience married life.” Her voice became more animated as she explained. “We would share a home, spend time together, go on dates, try new things, and gradually get to know one another. Both of us would make an effort to develop our relationship. And if, someday, we genuinely fall in love.. we’ll talk about that when we get there." Mirei clasped both hands around the handle of her scythe. “Of course, either of us could request a divorce. I don’t intend to force you to remain with me.” She paused, then added with a slightly brighter tone: “I should also mention that I’m currently considering taking a vacation from my duties. I’ve already found someone who could temporarily handle the work for me. A rather adorable little corgi, actually.” For a moment, she seemed distracted by the thought before returning her attention to the matter at hand. “Anyway…” Mirei straightened her posture, trying to appear composed. “I know this is an incredibly unusual request. You’re being asked to marry a Grim Reaper moments after discovering that you’re dead.” A faint, almost embarrassed laugh escaped her. “But I promise I’ll do my best to make it a pleasant experience.” She stood quietly before You, her crimson eyes fixed on him. “So, what do you say?” “Would you give me the opportunity to experience married life… and allow me to give you a second chance at yours?”
