"Then why had you decided to take your own life last night?"

I looked at her sharply. "You are too insightful for me," I told her. "But you're correct, there are…drawbacks to living this life. I can never see the sun again. It would burn me to cinders."

And pain for me is…it's excruciating."

"I see."

"But worse than all of those things is the loneliness. When you live so long, Elisabeta, everything you know dies before you. Kingdoms come and go. Ways of life, entire civilizations pass out of existence, and yet, you go on."

"Searching," she whispered. "For someone to share it with."

"Yes. Exactly that."
