It was—but not in the way you'd think. People said they could still feel it. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

[There was no point in sugar-coating it. Chara wouldn't thank her for it, and as they had reminded her, already had plenty of personal experience in the field of death. But it was up to her how to treat the subject.

A creature with ten arms—five on each side of its befinned body—gently macerates a fruit in a bowl, sweat pouring off of him. A clock behind him reminds the competitors that there's a mere five minutes remaining. The judges look on expectantly.

Shepard blinks, frowns, and refocuses, mentally shuffling through her thoughts for the last one—death, as it turned out. Not a bad subject, per say—but one that they had already explored quite a bit. So, with barely a beat missed, she flips the topic completely. If there's any warning, it comes only in the form of a new wave of curiosity.]


Have you ever thought about what you would want to be, if you could choose any job in the world? ["For when you grow up" is rejected outright from use.] Got a career path in mind?
