Faust knocked the gun out of Netsubo's hand and slapped her across the face. He looked at her for one second, his eyes full of betrayal and disgust, before turning away.

Netsubo had never seen Faust look at her that way. She felt something inside her shatter. She fell her knees,"Faust...I'm...I'm sorry...."

"No, you're not..." Faust said, walking towards the door. "Do what you want... I won't be held responsible. I'm going to make coffee, and don't bother me!" he slammed the door on his way out, picking up Marie and taking her downstairs. Seating her at the kitchen table, he found another coffee pot. Ignoring the broken glass litering the floor, he started brewing another pot.

Netsubo sat on her knees crying. She had never felt this bad before. Faust had always stood by her, had never criticized her...but now...It was too much!

"Well, Marie... it's just you and I, isn't it?" Faust sighed. "But she doesn't care... she would have left us here, all alone..." he poured the coffee into the machine and sighed. "At least we have each other. And your mom, too, when she gets back from.... the grocery store. She'll find us here, at the table, waiting for her..."

Shizuka began working on reversing the process that messed up the world. She didn't care if anyone didn't approve, but it had to be done. What Netsubo had done had not only altered the living world, but the soul society as well. Everything needed to get back to normal, and fast.

Netsubo went down stairs and peered into the kitchen. She was unsure wether she should enter or not.

Faust set the glass of milk down on the table. "Poor Marie," he sighed. "You can't hear me, can you? I'm so sorry I let this happen to you..." he returned to the coffee machine, rifling around in the cupboard below the sink. Finding a bottle of antifreeze, he held it up triumphantly, tossing it into the air once and catching it. "Well, now... aren't we lucky, Marie?"

"Ah, hello!" he said, smiling broadly. "You're just in time to join us for coffee. Although, I'll warn you, it's terribly good coffee.... you might even say that it's to die for." he tipped the remaining antifreeze into the coffee pot. "You should sit down with us, Netsubo."

"Great, then," Faust said, tossing the empty bottle into the sink. "I'm so glad, for the company, you know?" He watched the coffee simmer, the antifreeze casting an eerie blue glow on the clear pot.

"Forget it," Faust said airily, taking the pot off and pouring a mug of coffee. "After all, who is to dictate how and when we all die? God? Heh... I dare him." he brought his mug to the table, sitting by Marie's corpse and grasping her scorched hand. "You want some, go get it," he said, jerking his head towards the coffee machine. "I don't know how much of that sugar and stuff that you like... I've always taken mine black..." he took a sip of his coffee and shuddered.

Netsubo nodded and poured herself a cup, adding alot of sugar and cream. She too, took a sip,"This tastes horrible..."She muttered, sitting again.
