The reaper arrives at the hospital and asks for the soul of a man who has just died. The man says he is a member of the reaper's sect and wishes to send his soul to the afterlife. He tells the man that he has been admitted to the hospital because he has missed the deadline to pass the en-trance exam. The reapers are not killing machines, the man says, but only those who have died of old age. He wishes to go back to the retirement home where he was born, but the reapers will not allow him to do so.
