[ A gift of prophecy is a heavy burden. He's foreseen enough deaths — of old age or very suddenly, of course, as there was no illness in his village, not so long as his sister and her gift of healing were around — and he's seen more distant, less comprehensible endings, of things he knew he'd never live to see or shouldn't have, a mistake he'll realize after this dream ends.

But he shrugs. Even with all that he's seen and the mark it's left on him in the end, he just... gives a shrug, like he doesn't see the need for a greater debate on the matter. After all, Victor isn't wrong.

He knows of one very specific human who did just that, fifty years ago. It's simply a shame he has no memories of him, apart from what stories his mother would tell.

Choosing to die doesn't mean not fearing death or. Or not wanting to continue surviving. You still... do. You just. Well. Have something worth dying for, I guess.
