Matt had overheard. He looked up in understanding. "The deal is a life for a life, right? To save someone from death, another must go willingly in their place.

He shook his head. "Not exactly. Before his... uhhh... suicide? Yeah, that sounds right... Before his suicide, his life-clock thingie said he had around 75 years more to live. Someone would have to give up those years for him, and none of you can do that."

Matt nodded. "I got it wrong, but still... I'm... Creative." He grinned. "Would it work if you tricked someone into it?"

"No, it must be a willing, conscious trade. Sorry, them's the breaks."

Rukia was badly hurt, bleeding fast.
Matt noticed Rukia. "Oh crap!" He yelled, then ran over. He prayed quickly to his father, then Hades. He patched up the wounds fast, but precise. He looked over at Aizen. "You. You said you can see one's lifespan. How is she?"

"Nothin' serious. If she gets bandaged up soon, she won't lose any of her years. I hate to sound all obvious 'n s**t, but you might wanna do somethin' 'bout that."

((Matt already did. I quote myself: Matt patched up the wounds quickly, but precise. End quote.))

(Oh. Oh well! That's how zoned out Aizen is.)
He looked down at Mobius' corpse. "Better make arrangements for a funeral. Bury him and his girl together, put some nice flowers 'round 'em, maybe have a dude with bagpipes play that Amazin' Grace song... Yeah. That'd be nice. I'm gonna miss the dude, y'know? He was like a dad to me, and would teach me all the s**t Dad wouldn't, y'know? Hell, he got me my first hooker." He bowed his head in sadness.

Brooke's mouth was agape. Couldn't afford it..."You mean... I... Is it true? Say it isn't true!" She was teary, now. "How could you dare to face someone when you know that they'll die on a specific day? That's terrible. You're so cruel! Why would you tell us that we haven't so long to live?!" [Another seventy-five, you say? He must have been quite healthy... or perhaps it was the new form.] Justin spoke, "Must all of the... years come from one person?"

"No, more than one person can do it. But Brooke still can't." He looked at Brooke. "It's not like I can turn off this death-vision, y'know? I have to deal with that for everyone, fo' sho. You just learn to deal widdit."
(No, he lived a stress-free, healthy food-eating, alcohol moderated life. Good ole fashioned good living, is all.)

[Lucky him...] Brooke turned away with saddened disgust. Justin didn't want Brooke to hear, but he whispered very quietly, "How long does she have?"

He spoke quite loudly. "She has enough years, but she's been Marked. My crazy voodoo s**t can't touch her, thanks to Don Mo."

Justin frowned to himself. He must tell Athena. "Justin, I want to go from here. There is too much death."

"And let me say this much: Dead people s'posed to stay dead, and bringin' 'em back makes things messy!"
(Well, DUH! F.M.A. is proof enough.)
