The day yet approached, and he still felt no sadness.

Would a fish choose to taste his own water.

But if it is us that choose, then why would we bother?

But what is freedom, and what is beside it?

But what is freedom, and where do we choose it?

They were so different, so free, yet they choose this unnatural alliance.

He knew a great truth stood beyond him, but now it was time to look at the flowers.

But what he felt was not sadness, but a distraction left by his partner.

If his friend was gone, then too must his time soon come.

And then he realized his lifelong friend was gone, but still… his life was not done.
