The young, accidental deaths generally have the highest amount of energy remaining.
Exactly. Now, what if there was a way I could tell you who was young and dumb enough to do dangerous things that might accidentally unalive them?
You have access to that type of data?
Yes. I tried my best to memorize every new client I imported into my system yesterday. I couldn’t get a hard copy of the list, so we’re only working with what I was able to retain. But I’m certain if you follow them and learn their routines, at least one is bound to die BASE jumping or skydiving or whatever.
I take a moment to digest Lily’s information. She’d starting talking very fast the moment I entered her head. I hadn’t even said hello yet.
So you think I should spend our time together learning the habits of the people you’ve committed to memory.
Yes! Exactly. A young dumb person’s soul is worth way more than the hospital ones, even with the occasional accidental death factored in.
Her insight is interesting.
You have a point, but it seems wrong to spend time collecting information for potential souls rather than collecting souls.
I understand. But think of it like an investment. The gains are small now, but in time, they should be well worth it.
I put myself deeper into Lily’s consciousness so she can feel the earnestness in what I’m about to say.
I think your initiative is remarkably clever.
Lily sighs at me in the mirror I now see us in. Rhygel warned that she liked to yell at us in the mirror.Why do I get the distinct feeling there’s a “but” coming?
There isn’t one. I do think it’s best if I focus on reaping, however, not research.
Her shoulders slump the slightest bit.I really thought this would be the way to get you guys ahead.
And I appreciate that more than I can easily express. But what would be more helpful is honing your second sight.
She nods, eyes sharp with her new mission.Barbas said something to that effect but didn’t say much more on it.
You’re already so good at seeing them when we’re possessing you, but I wonder if you can do so when it’s just you?
Hm. I haven’t tried. But I see all kinds of stuff when you guys aren’t around, so I think there’s a pretty good chance I might.
Fantastic. Focus on that whenever we aren’t reaping.
Will do.
Lily takes a second to wash her hands and exits the bathroom, which I hadn’t to this point noticed wasn’therbathroom.Lily, where are we exactly?
We’re at my office where I work.
Can you leave your office?
Are you kidding? I just got this job back? I can’t leave on my first full day back.
Lily, I thought you understood how important this is. We need to reap each time we possess you.
Shit. Yeah. I guess I hadn’t thought about that.
Is there a way you can leave this place without drawing attention to it?
Not really. I kind of made a big deal about coming back. Everyone knows I’m here.
Condemnation and pox on all of it. This is not what I expected for the first time meeting Lily.When are you permitted to leave?
