It was a late night in the city of San Fransokyo. The city was bustling with activity, people going about their night, just another evening… or so it would seem.
"No draw backs... at all? That's rather generous."
The woman crossed her arms, shaking her head.
Every last one of them is the same… but then again… waking up in a building that hasn't been used in a while and then meeting someone who wants to help them in a huge way… and other things… It's understandable.
"We do this for your benefit to be honest… and yes, no draw backs as long as you follow the contract."
The young man mulled over the thought, being sure he heard everything correctly.
"Promise?"
"I promise on my Corpse Whisperer's honor you'll be able to do more if you make this contract… You'll be able to protect him… and be there for him… You miss your brother… don't you?"
"... More than anything else in the world… I've been asleep for two years… I need to see him again… See if he's okay."
"Just know when you make this contract you need to get your powers reigned in before you can see him… and baby steps you don't want to scare him."
"Right…"
"So… Do we have a deal?"
The woman presented a glowing golden gear to him. He stared at it in deep thought before taking it into his hands.
"Yes."
"Then it is done… take hold of your new power and let your afterlife… begin."
