Carter humorously points out the irony in a situation where his friend finds herself in a dilemma. She had two potential love interests, one who was near death and the other who was a god and thus unavailable. Now, those two are combined into a single person who is neither dying nor unreachable, creating an opportunity for her. Yet, despite this favorable change, she seems dissatisfied.

The exchange highlights the complexities of relationships and emotions, emphasizing how life can present unexpected options. Carter's remarks suggest that sometimes, people find reasons to complain even when circumstances have improved, showcasing the often contradictory nature of human desires and feelings.
