"I'd like that, I'd like it a lot." Again, one of those rare genuine smiles crossed his features and made him look like the man he used to be.<br/>"I think any other man would go mad having to wear this thing for as long as I did," he said in jest, the first thing close to a joke he would have said since before meeting Sara.<br/><br/>He reached up and touched at his face again, feeling a skin untouched by himself, another or even the elements. It sure would be different, but a welcome change. Any change was welcome, there was nowhere left for humanity to go but upwards, maybe in a couple of thousand years, they could reclaim their old technologies and habits. Though wouldn't they just be building up to collapse violently again?<br/><br/>Terrence feared the cycle would go on, and pitied those like him and Sara that had gotten the shit end of it, and all the while envied those who died just before it.
