Even for a job listing “Belief in afterlife a plus,” having an applicant die during the application process looks pretty bad.

Naturally, it’s difficult to officially pin these things, particularly on cute little boys (particularly ones with their fingerprints burnt off), but it’s not like no one suspects.

Two weeks into second grade, Manchester starts wearing a Jurassic Park backpack.

Vienna makes her living on the lam. She swears more often now since the Elizabeth job backfired, and has officially given up public decency, like any bad habit. She left Marion with Manhattan alive, of all things, and is ironically superior to her ex-roommate at giving up regret.

The second she sees Phoenix - alive of all things - her heart maybe explodes.

Cairo’s apprentices, they have this habit of dying young. Very young.

“Next.”

Applicant #217 is a brunette, 4’7’’, violet dress, whose one redeeming feature is a Jurassic Park backpack. Cairo cringes at the little-sister-type scenario, but, as an assassin, figures that everyone hitting on her could be pretty funny.

Of course, this is just planning ahead. But Manchester’s been getting cheeky lately.

Fascinatingly enough, this time it’s really over. Tonight she means it. And there’s no tomorrow.

It’s like the 800th time an actor plays the tragic hero. He still has to believe it – that tonight he won’t die. Only he will die, and it’s getting 799 times harder to believe.

“I don’t love you anymore.”

“I know,” says London.

(He never sees her again.)

By the time the prince releases Rome – shiny new probational leash attached – Cairo’s already waiting, propped against the hood, looking bored, and incidentally not smoking (per local ordnance).

“You’re not arrested?” notes Rome.

“Technically I’m considered a victim.” Cairo looks disappointed. “Paris didn’t send you back to Hell?”

Rome points out an obnoxiously-colored billboard, which reads:

"WELCOME TO ALICIA: NON-EXTRADITION CAPITAL OF THE WORLD."
