I think they give me $100 if I die. Not a bad deal.

Sure. I'll make a note for Shirosaba-san to be left in your care if I don't make it.

[compendiem]

Oh, that's not bad at all. You could feed somebody for a month off $100.
I'll take good care of Shirosaba-san, so rest in peace, Souji.

[tarotcards]

As a zombie though, I probably don't need to spend money on food anymore. There's food everywhere around me.

I'm not dead yet Σ(°ロ°)

[compendiem]

How do you know you'll come back as a zombie, or a ghost, or not at all?

That is easily rectified.

[tarotcards]

Because I'd like to pretend that I'm a special snowflake.

I'm locking my doors (งಠ_ಠ)ง

[compendiem]

You are. But we can figure this out. I know where you live.

[tarotcards]

I'm running away.

You can't catch me.

[compendiem]

I'm invoking our karaoke promise. We linked pinkies. You cannot escape.

[tarotcards]

How dare you use that against me.

I linked pinkies in good faith, not in "please Minato, invoke this promise so you can use it to murder me in the future" faith.

[compendiem]

Good faith was there, until the custody battle came to light. I'm sorry, Souji. This must be done.

[tarotcards]

( ╯°□°)╯ ┻━━┻

All right, demon, where are you?

[compendiem]

Home. Are you going to pick me up for karaoke?

[tarotcards]

Yes.

I'm afraid I don't have a cool convertible to pick you up in, though. I can only offer piggybacks.

[compendiem]

I will take piggybacks.

[tarotcards]

Then I'll be over in 30 minutes.

I want to enjoy my last 30 minutes before you brutally end my life.

[compendiem]

I'll wait for you. It'll be a swift and painless death.

[tarotcards]

Thank you, senpai... I will see you soon.

[ and here he is, souji knocking on minato's front door, ready to die. do your worst, minato ]

[compendiem]

[ Minato opens the door, wearing Souji's shirt, Dave's red hoodie, and a pair of John's jeans. Nothing really fits. Does Minato even own any clothes himself? Unlikely. ]

Hey. It's good to see you. Have you made peace with your life?

[tarotcards]

[ outrageous. look at all these free clothes that minato is wearing. do any of them even fit you??? ]

Yes. I have said goodbye to each of my cats and have slightly modified my will so do what you must, Minato. I am ready to meet my maker.

[compendiem]

Good. The most important things are done.

[ Saying goodbye to his loved ones, adding Minato to his will. Good. ]

Turn around?

[tarotcards]

[ without hesitation, souji does what minato asks and turns around. do your worst ]

[compendiem]

[ His worst is taking two steps back and then a running leap onto Souji's back for that promised piggy back ride. ]

[tarotcards]

[ souji expected something like a headbutt since headbutts seem to be minato's speciality so when minato leaps onto his back, he's surprised and he stumbles a few steps forward from not properly planting his feet on the ground. he doesn't reach to hold onto minato's leg for a proper piggyback and he just turns his head slightly to look at him ]

...?

[ is this all or is this just a way for minato to choke him? also if souji doesn't hold onto minato's legs to properly hoist him on his back, will minato just hang there with his arms wrapped around souji, hang onto him like a koala, or will he just lazily fall to the ground ]

[compendiem]

[ A piggyback ride was supposed to be zero effort on Minato's part and this is the opposite... He is definitely holding on as best as he can with his arms over Souji's shoulders and gradually slipping the longer Souji doesn't help him up. Before that can happen, he nudges the tip of his shoe against the back of Souji's knee, as if to convey... something... "Walk," maybe, or at least bend his knees so that Minato won't fall from 243786 in the air. ]
