... It isn't the first time he's been called out - one of the kids here managed to call him out, once. But it's the first time he's been called out like this to his face, and all he can do it stare for a moment. His eyes are widened; he looks entirely caught off guard.
Akira notices the stirring, however; he glances over. But he also notices that tensing, and gives the redhead a curious look after a couple of seconds. ]
... Game? [ and, more importantly: ] You died, too?
[ And is now a Reaper? What kind of danger do their worlds have to be in, to require people staying dead to fight it? And what kind of benefits come of being Reapers? And it's "close enough" to being alive...?? How?
He searches the other teen's expression for a moment, and then looks to the side... then back to the pair on the bed.
Holy shit... there are so many questions to ask, here. He focuses on what information he has been given. They were in a game, the worlds are in danger, they died and were able to become Reapers afterwards... by choice? ]
So this "Game" was to provide a chance to die for the sake of new powers... all to fight a universal threat...
[ If he doesn't seem immensely upset over the concept of death, that's because he is a little numb to the general topic. Seeing and hearing it happen is one thing, while talking about it has become the norm. ]
What happened to the survivors?
[ Did they just get shipped back home with a "I survived a game of death, and all I got was this lousy shirt" in tow? Were their memories taken, like how it works here? Did they have to live with the memories? ]
