It's natural, isn't it? To value your own life over others. Doing otherwise is a sort of selflessness that I've never been able to attain, and it's not one that I'm going to insist on from anyone else.

[That seems genuine in its entirety, actually; do what you will, because it's in one's nature to do so. Should one strive for anything higher? Probably, but there seems to be really little point in being a hypocrite about it. Especially since nothing he was taught back where he comes from seems to matter in the end.]

I won't claim that I've never feared death. Maybe I still do. Being here feels different, though. It actually gives death some kind of meaning.

Though I'm pretty sure you know by now that I'm not going to pass judgment on you, either. Which means I'm not interested in just leaving you to die, should it come to that.
