(Natalie's POV)

"Oh my Shinigami." Spirit says, "Natalie, hurry. Come with me. Lord Death wants to see us."

Spirit grabs me by the arm and starts to pull me along with him and Kane.

"Wait," I say, and then I ask, "What in the world is going on?"

"I don't know, but what I do know is that it is urgent, and that Lord Death wants to see us, now." Spirit says, as we race down the hall towards the Death Room.

We push the doors open, and we see Lord Death staring into his mirror with a strange expression on his face.

"You wanted to see us, sir?" Kane asks quietly.

"Yes, I would like to discuss with you about the child." Lord Death says, "He attacked Professor Kinley when they were talking, and he lost it. Right now, we have him bound and gaged in a different cell, and we are honestly running out of options. If this is how he reacts around adults, imagine how he will react around children."

Then Lord Death sighs and says, "I honestly think that we might have to force re-education on him. We can't put anyone's safety at risk."

"Is re-education the only option?" Spirit asks, and Lord Death nods his head grimly.

"I'm afraid that we have run out of safe things to try, and when I say safe, I mean for others. Re-education will most likely work, but it won't be pleasant." Lord Death says, "Come with me."

Lord Death leads us down the stairs and towards the cells, and we stop at one.

Then, he opens the door and let's us look in.

"Oh my Shinigami-san!" Spirit whispers in shock, staring at the scene before him.

Stein is on the floor, unconscious, chained to the wall and gaged, most likely for everyone's safety, including his own.

"I see why you have him chained, but why gaged?" Spirit asks.

Then, Lord Death says, "He woke up a while ago, and when he did, he started to scream and bite himself like a mad man."

"Oh." I say.

Lord Death sighs and says, "I really don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to have to force him, but what other choice do we have?"

None of us seem know, so we don't say anything, and Lord Death dismisses us back to our classes.
