I did. [ his voice is quiet, though steady; it ends with a soft huff of a laugh. ] If you'd asked me a month or so ago about a death god, I would've surely thought it was a prank or a joke. Seeing's believing; what a different world we live in.
[ there's a gentle wryness to the tone, poking fun at himself, and a worldview that had apparently been rather closed! wow. he's not gonna become religious or anything but also, wow.
there's a moment before he speaks again, looking at his glass. ]

[ gy do you really think this girl wears gothic jewelry because she's actually catholic. pwease. sometimes you do things for the #aesthetic and nothing deeper. ]
It's kind of funny... I was the same way, but I couldn't really deny it once it started happening to me, you know? I guess it helps that they're not really gods, though. In fact, most shinigami seem kind of sad. That's all they do– watch the human world and wait for people to die.
Hmmm. [ that's a good point. gu yun looks thoughtful, swirling the wine in his glass before he takes a sip of it. ] It's a bit poetic, in its sadness, isn't it? That's a terribly tragic existence to live.
[ maybe dying for grell was a new experience (?) who knows. ] Had you been with the one that was with you long?
Perhaps. [ he's not going to say anything about them being, like, depowered, because gu yun is only a jerk like five percent of the time, and besides, it's the sentimentality of it, isn't it? having something familiar. in a way, gu yun gets it. ]
Last weekend was rather hard on you, especially, wasn't it? [ between that and kaz. ]

[ ... huh. this causes her to realize something mid-sip. ]
Wow, maybe that's why I felt so lonely after Grell-grell died? I don't think I'm used to being alone anymore...being without a shinigami.
