[He's silent for a moment, still staring down at his hands.]
...He doesn't. He should be in hell - the place where souls go when their sins are considered to great to be in the cycle - but the old Soul King was the Composer. And because he was still semi-alive, when Yhwach - [He hesitates for a moment, because it was more like he'd killed the Soul King, when Yhwach used his own blood against him and forced him to slash at the crystal] - killed him...He died. For good.
[Either by rejoining the Cycle, or being fully Erased.
He doesn't know which.]
So...apparently, someone was desperate enough to drag a soul from hell and make them composer, since none of the Reapers around were in a level of power to do it. He'd apparently been a gentle Composer - choosing games that were very rarely violent, and he didn't have a Conductor and oversaw them himself.
...But by the time I arrived, everything had changed.
[He looks up, that deep pain coming more vividly to the surface as he talks.]

Did you...choose to become a Reaper?
