Hinata (had he any knowledge of this excerpt) would like to preface this with a disclaimer; he was not eating too fast. He was simply... forgetting to breathe between bites. And had forgotten water. And had requested chunky peanut butter that morning. So it wasn't his fault he's actually died, okay? Totally not.
His Watcher disagreed.
"Now Shou-chan, what did your mother tell you just this morning?" This lady was sitting at one of those Desks, the kind principals and CEOs had. Her eyes were disappointed, and her lips pouted slightly. In fact, the whole room looked sort of like that. There weren't any windows though, maybe it was an office? There was a door though, but he wasn't sure he was willing to risk angering the lady on top of whatever disappointment she was feeling.
"Uh... Buy more eggs?"
"Actually, she wanted more milk, but that's not the point. She told you to be careful about eating your sandwich! Seriously, imagine how this is gonna look on your record. 'Choked on a peanut butter sandwich because he couldn't be bothered to slow down at age eleven' is just silly."
"I'm dead?"
"Yeah, why else would you be here?" She turned to her computer- hey, was that there before?- and went to work on the keyboard. "Now I'm going to put you back, just sit tight for a few minutes."
"B-but I'm dead! Aren't I supposed to stay dead?"
"This is gonna go right over your head, but time is fluid, and while death is inevitable, it remains unshifted." Glancing at his scrunched up face, she sighed. "Most people all have at least one big Thing to do before dying. We call it your Something To Do Before Dying clause. Most people don't need a Watcher like me, but well... You do. You're trouble Shou-chan, but we can't let you move on just because of a few setbacks. Actually, there are quite a few cases like yours in your area- Japan, was it?"
"Yeaaah. Sooo, do you know what I'm supposed to do?"
"Yeah, but I can't tell you. Watcher rules, and all." Pausing in her typing, she looked at him and smiled. "And do be careful from now on. Because you've died once, your soul will now have a tendency to... try and come back, shall we say. We can fix it of course, but you don't really want to be dying all the time, right?"
"Of course not!"
"Well then, see you next time, Shou-chan. Good luck! Try not to send me too much paperwork!"
And then he was back in his body, thoroughly confused but determined to have fun. And maybe find out what that weird office was about. There had to have been others who'd been there, right?
But fate took its course and he was distracted by thoughts of the Small Giant and the thought of making his own wings.
