[He huffs at her jab but gets a small smirk on his face. Hey, he knows he works hard on his arms... It's nice to get a little appreciation from a girl.

Find as much as you can on this reaper spirit. The more we know going into this, the better. Why he only shows himself to the dead or people dealing with death, what he really does with dead souls, things like that...
[Tired of failing people who count on her. Her powers make her special, and to not be able to use them? Failing any time she tries? And she's tried her best.]
Whatever this Reaper thing is, I'm going to find out exactly what it is and how to contact it. It'll be able to at least tell me everything I need to know.
I know. [She's not smiling anymore, though.] I'll try to remember that. Thanks, Noel.
[She's come a really long way since the last time she felt so helpless, and it's like everything she ever disliked about herself comes rushing back. There was a time where the smile wasn't just a front anymore, or armour that hid something much darker beneath. But determined, Maya nods and pushes her seat out from under her.]

Maya, even if you don't gain any of your old powers from this... You're not useless. You should try to remember that.
