Suichiro was completely focused on the Spirit's reaction. She seemed to calm down, the spacequake alarms had gone off. He felt a bit of relief that Whisker received affection and smiled as the cat purred in response to getting pet. Things seemed alright and Suichi was about to explain what a date was when Mayumi came up and began to speak in a very direct fashion. Instantly he had a bad feeling, and then she bopped him on the head. He responded with a look that expressed confusion.

Whisker walked around to stand behind Suichi in an act of self-preservation. The alarms were blaring again, and this time he was certain that they could never be louder. He saw the scythe rise into the air, poised to strike at Mayumi. Suichi had to do something to stop this. He had to. He instinctively got between Mayumi and the Spirit and maintained eye contact with the Spirit. His expression was soft and concerned. However, his emotions were a storm. He didn't want to die, but he didn't want anyone to get hurt. "Please don't kill, Mayumi when she has so much life left to live! She's truly the most colorful person I've ever met. She's friendly and caring! She would never truly mean to hurt anyone's feelings. She's the best hugger I know. I'm sure that if you got to know her you'd realize that killing her now would make the world a worse place!"

He got onto his knees to express his sincerity. "Please, if you're to kill anyone then take my life." [i]What am I saying?![/i] "No one should have to die before their time."
