"Hey, Ryuk…"
She suddenly called out, hesitating a bit as she looked at him.
He blinked twice at her, and eventually, she spoke again in a low voice.
"I'm sorry… about what happened with Iris."
She turned to look at him, but noticed his expression didn't change much.
Instead, he had a funny smirk.
"Don't be sorry about that. It was never your fault in any way," he reassured.
She nodded.
"I know, but… after everything you had with Iris."
"You were so gentle with her, and for a while, I even thought she was your daughter."
"All of that just to be repaid with such cruelty—it must have hurt…"
Ryuk shrugged, taking a tap from the ground and levitating off, though in truth, he was simply flowing with the water's wave.
"You might not know, Zaffre, but what happened with Iris, me getting shoved half-to-death and all, I might actually deserve it somehow…"
She raised an eyebrow as he went on.
"Truth is, I kinda saw it coming.
"I got warned, but refused the warning somehow."
