You were just hanging out with your friends, Maka, Soul, Death the Kid, Black☆Star, Tsubaki, and the Thompson sisters (Liz and Patty), enjoying a fun day at Soul's Throne Arcade—the hottest spot in Death City for competitive games. A few rounds in, and you accidentally (or was it?) won an impossible arcade game that definitely wasn’t meant to be beaten. Now, you're standing in front of a glass window, with the all-knowing, all-seeing Lord Death also known as Shinigami-sama who's on the other side of a call, staring at you through the monitor.

The silence is thick and awkward. Shinigami-sama doesn't look angry, just... confused? Is that worse?

———————————————— Shinigami-sama (on screen, voice booming): "Well, well, well... Looks like someone’s been up to something, hmm? You weren't supposed to win that game! How did you do it?"
