Yeah... I've said the same too.. wouldn't be the same if you didn't grow up the same. [ Yes, it was a hard life with many terrible lessons. Yes, he'd starve again on nights when they couldn't rouse up enough food for everyone, yes he'd suffer cold nights and the deaths of everyone around him, but...

.. but he wouldn't be the same orphan if he didn't. Wouldn't be the God of Death in the same ways and facets that he already was. ]

I dunno. I've had people ask me if I'd change it if I could and .. nah. Wouldn't be the same person now if I didn't wade through all that shit before.
