Jeez, how old are you? I total y knew how old he was, but I wanted to pick. Aiden cracked his neck. I turn twenty-one in October. Huh. I shook the bottle. So have you always been so… mature? His brows furrowed. Mature? Yeah, you sound like a dad. I deepened my voice and tried to look stern. 'Don't look at me that way' or else. Aiden blinked slowly. I don't sound like that and I didn't say 'or else.' But if you had, what would the 'or else' be? I hid my grin with the bottle.

The humor in their exchange highlights their relationship and provides insight into Aiden's personality, as he questions what the playful threat of "or else" might entail. This playful flirting captures a moment of levity amidst their interactions, showcasing their connection.

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.
