I see that the dead return from beyond the grave in Discedo. Such a disruption to the cycle of life is completely unnatural and makes the concept of death meanlingessIt makes me wonder how a place like this deals with its criminals, or indeed, if any homicides are committed. The unique properties of this place would make such an action a flagrant

I'll admit, a perspective like that is almost refreshing.

[fingersnapping]

It is a perspective more people in this world could deal with having, yet are too foolish to comprehend.

[sukimahag]

A break in the boundary between life and death rarely has that effect. I'd imagine it's simply too difficult to change their view of death, after having it for so long.

[fingersnapping]

You think they wouldn't be so reluctant as it makes life a lot simpler if there is no need to be concerned about its end.

[sukimahag]

Perhaps it can be brushed off as instinct. Then again, most define 'life' by 'death', even if they leave room for an afterlife.

[fingersnapping]

Then, life in this place loses all definition. I, personally, would not allow myself to be that foolish.

[sukimahag]

My, did you just brush off the entire philosophy of nihilism as foolish?

[fingersnapping]

Nihilism itself is not necessarily foolish. I believe that in a world without death, only we ourselves can be relied upon to define life. I chose the path of perfection back home, and I will not stray from it here!

[sukimahag]

Perfection? A tired path, and one that only the worst of fools will follow.

[fingersnapping]

It is only foolish if you are incapable of achieving it!
