Fleeting Time, Burning Light

In this brief scene, we learn that the "strongest hell messenger" is responsible for keeping order in hell and guiding the souls of those who have died. He tells us that he is also responsible for maintaining order in the underworld by force. He asks if he has been in danger before, and he says that he has not, but that it is not always easy. He says that his hands are sore, and that he must wait for his father. No.9 tells him to come and help him, but he says he has a good relationship with his subordinates and that they are like friends. Next, he says, he will go to patrol the "third level of hell" . He adds that he will register the others, and then he will get to work. He hopes that his wife will meet him in the "next life" and that his daughter will meet her father in "the next life." He says he misses his wife too, and wonders if there is someone who holds him dear, just like his father and daughter. He thanks the "hell messenger" for allowing him to see his daughter, and thanks him for taking good care of his little girl. He admits that he had forgotten his daughter long ago, but has always remembered that promise he made with her. He wishes to accompany her to the next life. He wonders if he will be able to stop moving around when he finds her.
