There was really no point in stretching out the subject with this page in which nothing happens, but… this joke was too good to pass up.

I was tempted to give her a sort of oblivious smile when she said "Nope," but I figured it wasn't very Melody-like. I also was gonna go with "No," but… given the circumstances… "Nope" is funnier.

I also wanted Death to mutter "Oh, wonderful," but… obviously, I didn't have the room.

I have a lot of weird thoughts regarding the List. Unfortunately, this is such a new element to the series (seriously newer than anything I've already planned out), and I pretty much used my necessary rewrite for this chapter to add in these bits. So, I'm still turning it over in my head and trying to figure out the basics.

It's coming along nicely, though. I'm doing my best not to have any continuity errors. With exception to my crappy artwork.
