A few days later, Reaper's POV

I carry the baskets from Life back to the house as they are stuffed full of either blue roses or food fit for a special meal. I set it inside, sorting the supplies away when I heard a glitched scream. I zip outside, recognizing it as Error and seeing him drop through a portal. Or at least someone looking like him. He now wears a large blue cloak and layers of clothes shaded in blue. Then I see two wings extend from his back, flapping to save his landing. The portal in the sky closes. He huffs, taking out his phone.

"CoUld'Ve aT lEaSt gIvEn mE a wArNinG iNsTeAd oF shOvInG mE hErE. LeT mE sEt tHe tiMeR nOw."He says, checking his phone.

His wings fold on his back and his phone starts ringing.

"ShIt, BlUe iS gOiNg tO kill mE fOr miSsInG hIs gArDeN pArTy. UgGh aNd i'M nOt evEN gLitChinG! THAt aSS chAnGeD mE uPoN eNteRiNg hErE. I sWeAr tHiS iS tHe lAziEst tEsT eVer mADe—-FoCuS. Do iT fOr hIm. It wiLl bE wOrtH iT."He says as he hangs up the call

This...This isn't my Glitchy...Right? Did the owner of that voice on the phone do something to him? His eyes are empty!

"OkAy, jUsT a yEAr hErE aNd i aM dOnE. NoW tO fInD tHe tArGeT..."He says, then pauses after reading a scroll.

He groans, shaking his head.

"OkAy, tHaT's cLevEr wOrdInG bUt nOt UsEfUl tO mE. DaMn iT...."

"Glitchy...?"I say hesitantly

"WhO yOu cAlLinG Gli-Oh."He begins to snap as he glances up at me

"Glitchy? Are you alri-?"I begin, reaching out to him

"DON'T TOUCH ME! I'm nOt yOuR gLitChY! AnD I dOn'T wAnT tO lOsE mY deAl bEcAuSe oF sOmE aCcIdEntAl deAth oF a rAnDoM iDioT!"He snaps

Yep, definitely not my Glitchy. He would never threaten to harm me...

"Then where is my Glitchy?"I ask

"HeLl iF I kNoW. NoW iF yOu dOn'T mInD, i'M tRyiNg tO fIgUre oUt whO tHiS rEfErS tO."He says, lifting a scroll.

"Can I see it?"I ask

"WhAt mAkEs yOu tHiNk yOu cAn hElP?"He asks

"I get a lot of scrolls for work and sometimes the directions for lists can be vague."I say

"LiStS...?"He says, tilting his head

"Mhm. Plenty of souls to collect."I say

"WaIt...YoU'rE...ThE gOd oF deAtH hErE?"He asks

I nod.

"TcH, I'd nEvEr imAgInE yOu cApAbLe tO deAl wiTh sO mAnY liStS."He says

He huffs, handing me the scroll reluctantly. I glance at it and frown.

"This...is my Glitchy's handwriting quoted here."I say

It quotes his handwriting that reads: "whom I love most." The rest of it said that who Glitchy is referring to must be found. Then this version of him must stay here for a year to complete a deal...Wait...That was the same amount of time Glitchy said he'd be gone...What is he doing? What happened to him?!
