Chapter Text
Just a simple job, just one job made Reigen’s life hell. It was a simple job given the context too, yet here he was, panting and bruised, trying to dodge death as if peered over every corner he turned.
Sitting in the office, it was your casual day of helping clients, the usual Reigen Arataka package deal you bought for 2000 yen. The phone began to ring, notifying Reigen of another job opportunity. The client specified something about a spirit haunting an abandoned building, the usual place they were spotted. It seemed like an easy one to deal with and be over, so Reigen and his employee, Serizawa Katsuya went on their way for a short trip. As expected, the spirit was dealt with quickly thanks to Serizawa. “Great work.” Reigen charmingly nodded, patting a firm hand onto his shoulder before sliding it off. As they walked out of the one story building, Reigen whirled his head around to face Serizawa. “Want to go grab something to eat?” Serizawa tensed up before nodding. “I wouldn’t mind sir, but we should probably leave the building quickly.” Reigen tilted his head as he watched Serizawa walk past him and out of the way of the building, he seemed really eager to leave. “Got somewhere to be?” Reigen slid a hand into his pocket, watching as Serizawa paused before turning his direction. “Ah well—“ his sentence ended abruptly as his eyes widened. “Sir watch out!” Yet before Reigen could react, the building began to collapse, its rubble falling onto a shield Serizawa had surrounded Reigen in. “That.. was a close one huh?” Reigen chuckled breathlessly, removing his arms from his head as he turned to look at the now destroyed building. “You should be more careful sir.” Serizawa sighed out of relief, making Reigen turn his head back towards him. “I’m always—“ his sentence was caught by a final piece of rubble falling onto a pipe that was holding the building together. “..careful.” Reigen nervously smiled, hopefully no one saw that. “Sir!” Serizawa suddenly shouted, making Reigen look up, but before he could speak, the snapped pipe broke, forcing itself into Reigen’s chest: piercing him fatally.
