Chapter 9 - Episode 7: RED'S THOUGHTS

(27 days after seeing Gabby)

After collecting souls from the mortal realm, he couldn't help but wonder how Humility could have kept his cool all the time. He envied him, as he was easily angered and affected by words, perhaps due to his past.

He was about to continue walking, when a familiar voice called him from behind.

GABBY: Hey mister! Finally, I found you! You got me panting, sir!

Red automatically had his face grimace at the sudden realization of who the person was.

RED: Can't you see I'm busy here..?

Gabby quickly walk up to his front, showing no fear of the man before her.

RED: You are pissing me off. I hate seeing your face.

GABBY: Oh, come on...I really did my best to locate you.

RED: Aren't you at least a bit afraid of me? C'mon, it's like you don't respect who I am.

GABBY: I have seen uglier entities than you.

RED: Whatever. What is it that you want?

GABBY: Can you show me my grandma Delia? Just a few minutes? I want to talk to her. I wasn't there when she passed and I miss her.

RED: Get away from me. Not because you could see me, you could boss me around. I don't hold any responsibility for you wishes.

GABBY: *pouts

You're really rude, ya know?

RED: I don't care. Now move.

GABBY: WAIT!

Gabby holds his arm, which surprises both of them. As a mortal could hold an entity which to Red's belief, had never happened before.

RED: You-

GABBY: I-?

RED: CAN TOUCH ME?!

GABBY: CAN HOLD YOU?!!

RED: Ugh. You're taking way too much of my time, now let go.

GABBY: NO! You have to take me to your place!

RED: You stubborn little bastard, I said let go!

GABBY: Please! I'll do anything after! Just let me see her!

RED: You won't let go? Fine! You asked for this...
