Heh! Is that so? It sounds to me as if you're settling.

[Hm, but thinking about it that way... which is crueler? Living a life void of a happy future or dying and feeling nothing at all? Huh. Seems Temenos has made some headway in teaching Lobelia something new.]

Then again, perhaps you are a mite crueler than myself? Leaving someone to persist an empty life devoid of all happiness is quite mean, Temenos! How did you come to be so callous?
