A second later, there was a knock on my door and a booming voice. 'Alexandria?'Seth stilled above me, panting. 'You have got to be freaking kidding me.'Leon knocked again. {...} 'Lucian is requesting your presence immediately.' Another gap of silence followed. 'He is also requesting to see you, Seth.'Seth frowned as the gleam in his eyes faded. 'How in the world does he know I'm in here?''Leon...just knows.' I pushed at him weakly. 'Get off.''I was trying to.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
