“I just take what I can get. And now I don’t have to worry so much about getting killed, or other things that are essential to life. Though sometimes I have to steal life energy from high-death areas, usually Beika. Gotta stay manifested somehow, y’know?

”You got real lucky when that bullet riccocheted off Blue Birthday instead of shattering it and tearing through your chest. I died that night.”

“Ah…”

The thief isn’t entirely sure what to say… Sorry didn’t seem right. He did know he was lucky, as with most of the instances he could have been killed. Everything, when it came down to the job, had been decided by sheer coincidence. And if any of those coincidences had failed…

He’d be making ‘phantom’ thief cracks about himself. Well, more than he already was, anyway.

“So… did you find out why you were killed? Aside from them not liking you going after Blue Birthday and giving a warning about it.”
