Not to bother anyone or be annoying

, but I noticed you sometimes have people disappear after they apply and I wanted you to know I'm still checking in to hear back and am definitely still around ^_^

Some things I found:

It's because you wouldn't stop going on about information on humans!
Just needed and apostrophe, small mistake, but you need to watch out for that.

What is our next move...!?
The next move is...!?
This line should be left as close as possible to the original translation. Our job is to just make sure all the lines flow correctly, check grammar, and to make sure everything is punctuated and spelled correctly. So try as hard as you can to not change the original too much.

-Nice one Bichula!
Bichula was spelled incorrectly.

The Story So Far: In order...
A colon should be used here instead of a comma. This will set off the next set of sentences.

-You think I'm a nasty dude who just gives up!
The "a" was an "I".

-Do you know the special strength of a Shinigami?
Needed a question mark at the end.

-Then they can't live either.
Missing apostrophe.

-That's the place where someone who helped me died.
-Everyone was just searching for romance on the snow...
-Nobody turned an eye towards a homeless guy like me.
In these sentences, all the words I selected there are one word. In your script they were all separated into two words. That is sometimes the case, but here it is not.

Unfortunately, there are too many mistakes here. Most of them are punctuation mistakes, so working on that would help you. When I do get more scripts up, feel free to try and apply again.
