Chapter 4 - The Rule

"Sin. Not sins, sin. So just one sin? There is no way. What was it? I'm here by mistake, I'm telling you."

I cannot say. And there has been no mistakes.

What? Is this a game? "Why, because you don't know? Ya know, because this is a mistake?"

A grin appeared on the man's face. His tone changed. It sounds less professional than before. Like this has suddenly become more fun for him and less just another day.

Of course I know. But in order to proceed, you must acknowledge your sin yourself. That is the rule. Just one sin.

One sin. Think, Alice, think. One sin that you didn't repent. Maybe this is the chance to repent it and finally get where you belong.

"Oh I don't know. I really don't know, sir. Please, help. I am begging you!"

The woman snickered again. She is starting to get on my nerves. Clicking and snickering.

No, Alice. We must be kind to all. Sigh. I am already in Hell. What does it matter.

That's the spirit! Making yourself at home already. I suppose you should. You are here for eternity after all.

This man's devilish grin is getting really annoying, too. Like this is some joke.

"Sir, please, I am tired and I can't think of a single sin. And I am positive this is a mistake. Please, may you tell me?"

I cannot. You must say it yourself. Take your time. We have plenty of it.

That grin again. I want to smack it off his stupid, perfect face. Ugh, Alice. You're better than this. "Am I allowed a hint?"

That's against the rules, Alice.
