[Daemyn turns on the PORTAL, revealing that he hadn't aged physically, not one bit. At age 30, he had aged mentally, become more mature about a few things and stopped being as obnoxious as he had been. Today, he had made a fatal mistake. He had fallen off a tall structure in the city and attempted to save himself but had failed, imagining something

I fell off a building. I didn't mean to, usually I catch myself.

[daienkai]

You fell. Off a building.

[Blank stare.]

How did you manage that?

[obscuritae]

Sometimes I like to challenge myself.

[daienkai]

Why don't you go running or surfing instead of falling off buildings then.

[obscuritae]

We all do things for a reason, mate, no matter how strange.

[So many blank faces in one day, he feels like Luffy.]

Wings?

[And he's very delighted to finally do so.]

[obscuritae]

Really? This is your first, then!

[He would outstretch his arms or do something with enthusiasm, but he kind of ... can't.]

[daienkai]

[He smiles and laughs (thinks about his brother who would love this) and sighs, a contented sort of sigh.]

There's always room for surprises, you know. It just takes a bit sometimes.
