(ominous music)
- If spirits should threaten my in this place,
fight water by water and fire by fire,
banish their souls into nothingness
and remove the powers until the last trace.
Let these evil beings flee through time and space.
(ominous tone)
(door knocks)
(man sighs)
- Hello.
You gonna let me in?
- Do I have a choice?
(door clicks)
- You haven't changed a bit.
Just.
- Yeah.
Well, I don't think I can say the same about you.
- The vessels are only supposed to last five years,
but you made yourself hard to find.
- [Man] Well, be my guest.
- Be grateful I'm just an associate.
An executive would be flaying you
in dime-sized pieces by now.
- Yeah, yeah, lucky me, right?
- I'm sorry.
- Because you tricked me?
- No, we had a deal,
and I made good on my end.
You got what you wanted.
(man scoffs)
- Yeah, yeah, I guess I did.
- Did you enjoy your play things?
- They were okay, sure.
But I am.
- What?
- But you are the only one that I remember kissing.
- Most people aren't specific with their wishes.
I didn't mind hunting.
- Why are you stalling?
It's gotta be easy for you by now, huh?
Ripping people's
fucking souls-- - Is not easy!
It gets heavier every time.
And they're not, they're not down there yet.
They keep begging me to let them out just a day longer
so they can say goodbye to their children.
All you did with your extra time was hide.
- Please, please.
If I just had-- - It didn't work, you know?
- What didn't work?
- Your trinkets.
But the executives didn't have to know.
- Why didn't you?
- Because I never forgot
what I felt like to kiss you either.
The others, sure, it was easy.
It has to be.
But it can't be with you.
- Then don't do it.
- I thought about it after they told me
what they'd do to me if I left the contract unfinished.
I wondered if it'd be worth it.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
But I'm bound to a law that's greater than the both of us.
And we had an agreement.
- Okay.
But just one thing?
Thank you.
(man gasps)
(man breaths heavily)
- Ash.
You got that one right.
(wind howling)
