[Scene: Zoi's bedroom. Zoi has just learned the Death Phantom can't be killed.

Neffy: Nope. God's don't die. It's what makes them gods and separated them from us slightly lessor lifeforms...Oh, they can be tormented for all eternity, which I'm certain Metallia will do if He decides to go after one of us. But you...well I hate to break this to you kid, but you're not exactly her favorite.

Zoi: But...the Moon Kingdom...Didn't you destroy it to keep to keep the White Queen from using the Moon Crystal to destroy her?

Neffy: No, we destroyed the Moon Kingdom to keep the White Queen from using the power of her Legendary Moon Crystal to seal her away.

Zoi: Seal her away...?

Neffy: It's like putting a god in a padded cell they can't escape from until they lose enough energy to fall into a torpor.

Zoi: Could we seal the Death Phantom away?

Neffy: [shrugs] I suppose you could. If you had a powerful enough magical artifact. But Mother destroyed all those ages ago. For this very reason.

Zoi: [undeterred] But if I had such an artifact, I could use it to seal away the Death Phantom?

Neffy: You might. If you could figure out how to do it before he vaporizes you for even making the attempt. But even if you succeed, you would die pretty quickly. Mortals aren't designed to harness that much power. Using an artifact powerful enough to seal away a god would cause your insides to burst like an overripe melon.

Zoi: [wide eyed] But if he's sealed away, he can't hurt my family and friends, can he?

Neffy: ...Well, It would certainly slow him down...

Zoi: [crying again] So there is nothing I can do to protect anyone? Maybe...if I were already dead...he would leave them alone... [Gives Neffy a pleading look]

Neffy: God, you don't know how much I wish I could help you. [deep sigh] But instead I'm compelled to tell you the answer is no and don't be so melodramatic.

Zoi: [crying harder] Where is Kunzite? I need Kunzite. Kunzite would know exactly what to do...[scans the walls looking for Kunzite's name]...oh my god...he's not up here...what if the Death Phantom decided to go after him tonight and he's already dead?

Neffy: He's not. Kunzite was at the same party I was, with a blond girl on one knee and a redhead on the other.

[Zoi turns and stares at Neffy with his mouth hanging open]

Neffy: [laughs] I'm just joking, kid. I have no idea where he is.

Zoi: YOU JERK! [starts beating Neffy with his fists] I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU MORE THAN ANYONE!

[Neffy just stands there laughing as Zoi continues to pummel him, until they hear a loud rapping on the window]

Zoi: [throwing his arms around Neffy in terror] IT'S HIM! IT'S THE DEATH PHANTOM!

Neffy: It don't think so.

Zoi: Who else could it be?

Neffy: I don't know, kid. It's your window.

Zoi: We're on the second floor!

[sets Zoi aside and goes to the window and reaches for the latch]

Zoi: [biting his nails] Stop! What are you doing? Don't let him in here!

Neffy: [over his shoulder as he continues to open the window] The Death Phantom could teleport right in here and kill us both in the blink of an eye. Why would he bother knocking?

Zoi: To prolong my terror!

Neffy: I've met him. He doesn't have that kind of patience.

[Neffy looks out the window and chuckles as he opens it to reveal Mamoru longing on his windowsill]

[Zoi's terror fades to annoyance]

Zoi: What are YOU doing here?

Mamoru: I'm trying to keep my promise.

Zoi: When did you promise to kill yourself falling off my window sill?

Mamoru: [looks at Neffy with seething hatred] Get out of my way.

[Neffy backs up and Mamoru come in through his window. He surveys the names on the walls with a stern expression.]

Neffy: [chuckles and nudges Zoi with his elbow] Ha. I'll bet this isn't the first time you've smuggled a boy into your room.

Zoi: You're right. Now both of you-Get out!

Neffy: Can't. As long as you are in danger. I have to stay here and protect you.

Zoi: You can protect me by getting Kunzite.

Neffy: I told you, kid. I have no idea where he is.

Mamoru: Then use your powers of divination, you preening jackass!

[Neffy is momentarily taken aback]

Neffy: ...oh, right.. Endymion...Careful, Beryl isn't here to protect you.

Mamoru: If Beryl were here, she'd be the one who needs protecting.

[The words are chilling, Zoi's never hear Mamoru talk like this.]

Neffy: I'll be right back with Kunzite, so don't try anything.

Mamoru: Don't worry. I'm not an animal like the rest of you.

[Neffy teleports away in a burst of starlight.]
