Just out of curiosity, are you afraid of death? Why or why not?

That's a weird question.

[vesperiaftw]

Yeah, sure, I guess so. But what people remember isn't always the truth.

[mirrored_seal]

Different perspectives? That's inevitable. Very few people view a scene the exact same way, after all. But all the views together help bring the picture into focus at every possible angle.

And if you're worried about someone trying to slander your grave, that's what friends are for; to pun- I mean, call the jerks out. :3

[vesperiaftw]

Seems like a lot to ask of your friends. Especially when some of it's probably true.

If no one remembers you, at least there's no one left behind to be hurt that you're gone.

[mirrored_seal]

I guess that's true. But isn't getting hurt part of life?

[vesperiaftw]

Yeah, sure. So's dying.

But that doesn't mean I really want to do that to anyone else - though I probably will.

[mirrored_seal]

... Maybe I'm selfish. I don't know if I could really live without my friends....

[vesperiaftw]

But you'd expect them to live without you?

[mirrored_seal]

Then shouldn't I just do my best to make sure I don't die before them?

[vesperiaftw]

I think you should just live your life and stop thinking about dying.

[but she's already died once, and now that she's got a second chance, she can't help but wait for the other shoe to drop]

I'm not "thinking about dying", I'm "pondering the nature of death". They're different things, you know! For one, the latter sounds a lot more pretentious~

[vesperiaftw]

Sounds like pretty much the same thing to me.

[mirrored_seal]

Oh, you uncivilized brute! How dare you-! /insert dramatic head toss here :P

[vesperiaftw]

You can sit here and think about it if you want, but I don't see the point. You can't stop it.

[mirrored_seal]

Of course not! Everything ends eventually, no matter what we do.

[vesperiaftw]

So why waste time worrying about it?
