Alternate lines:

MELODY: "Morty, is this right?"
DEATH: "That fingercuff thing you're doing? No, it's not. You should get that looked at."

MELODY: "Killing these people…"
DEATH: "Agh, this is getting old…"

I have way too much fun writing for Death.

If you notice, this is (more or less) where we found our friends in Comic 46 (Page 6 of ReaperWatch). That big grey thing is the sign for Corbeau, and that smoke and tire marks nearby seem to be what the two were waiting for.

I've counted three times (if I'm mistaken, feel free to correct me) in which Melody has shown discomfort with what Death is doing. I'm hoping this is the last, as it becomes a tiring theme after a while.

But it leads up to a very good chapter, writing-wise. At least, I think it does…

(But hey, look! I am completely terrible with drawing trees!)
