Death had been watching him quietly for a time before she decided to approach. She knew what the day meant to the poor kid and it wasn't one he should be spending alone. Picking up a fresh cup of coffee and a plate of snacks from a house elf, she wandered over to where he sat.
"Hey. Want some company?" she asked, giving him a gentle smile.
Teru swallowed, forcing himself to look up from his coffee at her. "...I think I do, yes," he said, quietly. Of course she'd know the date. She must have been there, with Yagami as he died.
(And there was that memory, his former god crawling in the dirt, shot again and again, pleading with Ryuk not to write down his name - he'd seen it so often, but it still wouldn't leave...)
"She. Her name's Masuyo." Who had sat up, looking curiously at Death. Whether she recognised her or was just interested in the stranger and potential provider of petting was another matter.
"And..." He sighed, looking back down into his coffee. "I'm sure you know. It's worse than I'd thought it would be."
...Teru really had thought that nothing at Hogwarts could surprise him any more. Being proved wrong yet again was somehow more irritating than anything.
He had enough presence of mind to know that any comment on the lines of 'you're a floating head' would be pointless, and settled for "...you're involved with this?"

Death wrapped her hands around her own mug of coffee. "I'll skip the obvious question and not ask how you're doing if that'll help," she offered.

Not even president's heads are immune to yelling at the TV apparently.
