"A normal life. I feel I have sold my soul for the revenge that earlier meant everything to me. Perhaps I did. Maybe this aging of mine is a price for the blackness I allowed to consume my heart. Each day keeping alert. I dream of a time when I see a tree for what it is... a place to sit back against on a lovely spring day, with only the sky above as my thought as the clouds drift by. Instead, I see a tree and I wonder if an ambush waits behind."<br/>Yet looking into Aoi's ever-changing eyes, Rex had a thought. "You... hmm, you have frozen your aging. While I can shift mine. I haven't ever thought about this but maybe... " Standing... pacing back and forth but never letting his eyes leave hers, "Wow, maybe somehow, someway... between you and I... this is insane but what isn't? Maybe we could reverse... me? Maybe if I can somehow stop altogether my aging, then with your help, flow it backwards... and I can speed this."<br/>Slumping back in his seat... "But that is crazy. That would be altering reality. I am what I am. And you, you have your entire life ahead of you."
