Hmm, but.. .Isn't the opposite true too? My kind can never die, not truly. Those who have an actual 'end' to their lives... They work to find meaning to it. They appreciate it more, because they know it ends one day. But with us... I don't think any of us really know what it means to 'live.' There's nothing to 'live for.' We just... are.

[Dia tilts their head, gazing off with a pensive expression, tapping lightly at their cheek as they think.]

I've never questioned it much before, because there was never anything to compare it to, you know? When we're born, Sensei refines us and gives us our jobs, and sometimes we discover other interests too. But I really... admire things that don't last. I think they're very sad, but very beautiful... And more valuable than something like me. [They trail off, mostly just musing out loud, before they suddenly grin sheepishly at Molly.]

Sorry--I guess that's a bit heavy, huh?
