Months before the semester began death had gathered information on the strange human that managed to cause him harm and had become fascinated to learn more about her, he ponders on just how dangerous she might actually be and seeks answers through personal observation and came to the decision to appear to her in mortal form so he's presence is hidden from her, with all preparations made he enrolls into the same school as Mavis, unbeknownst to her death lurks her shadows.

Mavis had never forgotten even for a day that sinister presence she had felt when she encountered that being 4 months prior and had been preparing herself to once more face it again though she often ponders on the question "why didn't he kill me that day" she knows she won't get an answer unless she can once again find that existence. Mavis and Marian head to the cafeteria and sat down together to eat, meanwhile death who had found her sat down at a diagonal angle behind her and sat while fixing he's attention on her, Marian noticing death's stare calls Mavis attention towards him asking if she had met him somewhere before to which she replies "no, I don't think I have". After eating they leave the cafeteria but death follows at a distance behind but later diverts to avoid too much suspicion, noticing he's left Marian reacts saying " maybe he's interested in you" to which Mavis playfully laughs it off.
