<span style="color: #4da6ff">"I couldn't imagine living that long, or even wanting to. How could you exist for so long and still love anything? There would be so, so much death in your life. Having to watch everything you love eventually wither and die... How has The'kal handled it? Between losing you and living on a planet with mortals who live such short lives... She must be one hell of a woman. Or really good at masking her own pain."</span>She nodded and smiled.<span style="color: #4da6ff">"That's good, you have a reason to live for. Already a marked improvement over what you were when we met." </span>Her smile turned to a frown and she slapped Order hard enough to nearly break her hand.<span style="color: #4da6ff">"No. I understand the appeal but our pasts, our memories, that is what makes us who we are. You had an unimaginably awful life, but it didn't break you. You're still here, looking for redemption, for companionship, to be better than you were. If you... reset yourself I would leave you in a heartbeat."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
