History of the Moon: Part Thirteen
"For what good man would lay down his life so that others may live. I would prefer the man that would lay down his life so others may learn."
... Actually, I believe that quote is attributed to me these days back on the moon. I can't for the life of me recall the context anymore. It's a bit strange, don't you think? If we weren't also imprisoned in our very life here, the amount of sacrifice made for something so simple... would seem almost insane. But who here maintains illusions of sanity, hmm? Desperation has already altered many of us. Our perceptions of the value of life and death. You'd be called mad anywhere else. Death is not a condition one can cure, they say.
Well, Mayfield... I know too well what they say to that sort of madness. But there was no condition that Yagokoro the Wise could not cure. That included death. And you will learn the price that comes with that revelation. And I will not laugh when it happens.
