When Chaim opened his eyes, he saw that he was currently in a hospital.

{The tasks haven't even started yet, and I'm already in a hospital. What kind of luck is this? Also, I feel like I've been ran over by a truck.}

[Well, deal with it. Just look at the memories already.]

{Fine, whatever.}

Chaim is now in the body of Theron. A successful businessman and CEO of T&A Corporations. He also has a lover named Arzhel.

{What?! A lover?! Oh, hell no! Also, this dude's life seems perfect. Why would he need our services?}

[Not my fault, not my problem. Plus, you haven't even seen everything. You should know how a rich man's life isn't that perfect.]

{Oh, honey. You haven't been rich, have you? Money solves all your problems. Only people who haven't experienced being poor say it doesn't.}

[Really? Is that why you were stabbed?]

{That wasn't my money's problem.}

Chaim continued to scan through Theron's life.

His life was going great. He's successful, he has a lover, and he's set for life. Until the accident happened.

Someone messed with Theron's car, causing him to crash into the Jersey barrier.

This accident, according to Syrio, caused a disruption in Theron's soul, and that's why they are here right now.

{Show me the tasks.}

[Tasks:]

[Find out who tampered with the car.]

[Make sure Arzhel lives a good and happy life.]

[Locked]

{Should I take the amnesia route? That sounds awesome. I can gather pity points and make sure Arzhel doesn't leave Theron. If I'm making him happy, might as well make Theron happy too.}

[Suit yourself.]

Chaim tried to sit up, but he found out that he couldn't.

{Sy...}

[Maybe you're just weak at the moment. You know, waking up from a car crash. Your body might still have high doeses of medicine in it. Don't jump into conclusions yet.]

{I can't feel anything below my waist. Am I...paralyzed?}

[You should wait for a doctor. What do we know? It could be a side effect from a medicine or something.]

{I haven't even failed a world, and I'm being punished. Am I gonna be a soul in a world if I did manage to fail one?}

Before Syrio could answer Chaim's complaints, they heard the door opening.

{Should I pretend to have an amnesia?}

[Do whatever you want.]

{Might as well forget everything now that my body has forgotten how to walk.}

The door opens and reveals a haggard-looking Arzhel.

{Even with those eyebags, he looks gorgeous. I guess I can make this cutie happy.}

[....sure.]
