"Finally realized it, eh?" Ryuk muttered as MadWhite noticed even his voice changed, and watched his face suddenly ripple—and a new one came into being.
It wasn't the face he remembered, but it was definitely the face he had seen in the news that went by Ryuk's name.
The image with those two long horns emerging from the sides of his head.
"Familiar now?" Ryuk asked with a smile, as MadWhite's pistols faded away before he gave him a deep hug, slapping his back twice as well.
"You've grown stronger than the footage I saw of you."
"I was hoping to see you at the Commemoration party, but you never appeared—and your device numbers weren't going through."
"But it seems like I was worried for nothing," MadWhite said, firmly nodding.
"I'm doing very well. I'm glad to see you okay, too."
"Come, come. Be my guest and drink with me till the end of time," MadWhite said with one of those boisterous laughs before he dragged Ryuk out of the collapsed room, his arm slung over his shoulder.
