You don't look like an alien!' It seemed important to point that out. He arched a brow. 'And what do aliens look like?''Not...not like you,' I sputtered. 'They aren't gorgeous--''You think I'm gorgeous?' He smiled.

The exchange between the characters highlights an interesting perspective on appearance and perceptions of beauty. One character feels the need to clarify that the other doesn't fit their stereotype of an alien, which suggests preconceived notions about how aliens should look. The compliment about the character's beauty takes the conversation in a playful direction.

This playful banter reveals underlying attraction and the dynamics of their relationship. The unexpected compliment creates a lighthearted moment that contrasts the tension of the earlier assumptions. It showcases how perceptions can be challenged, and how admiration can arise unexpectedly, reinforcing themes of connection and discovery in the narrative.

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.
