Human beings aren't supposed to have loopholes. That's what makes us human. We live because we know what death is. What the frak kind of meaning can you have in a life that doesn't end?
[And before Ned can interject, he answers it himself, because he already knows the answer.] You can't. [And maybe it's time he starts trying to explain why. It always comes down to this, for him, this burning need to be understood, to be heard. He looks up, the words coming faster, lit by that fire.] Look: do you remember what I told you happened to my world?
