"I didn't say anything." "You're thinking it very loudly." I smile against his chest. "What endures," I repeat softly. "Why that one?" He's quiet long enough that I wonder if he'll answer.

That something can endure if you're willing to hold onto it." I absorb that slowly. Everything else leaves.

It's imperfections like death and separation that make our world perfect," he said, his voice choked with emotion. This was Dominic’s advice to Yasmin, but it was what he truly thought. Having treated so many patients and lived for as long as he had, he had come to realize that what mattered most was to live an exciting life. Death was not the end but was a necessary part of one's life. Yasmin fell into deep thought. She did not like anyone trying to talk her into giving up achieving immortality. However, all he did was to tell her to go easy on herself, which had never crossed her mind before. His words were similar to Lily's.

I couldn't find it— "I know you will find it one day. One thing I'm very sure of is that, change is constant, and nothing lasts forever." I looked into his golden fiery eyes as he said those words that pierced deep into my soul. No one has ever made me feel this sure of a better life before.

The bloodlust vanished from the air like it never existed. “Well, at least I am perfect at being flawed…” Ezra sipped in the coffee, making loud slurping noises which was clearly annoying Raven even more. “I am flawlessly imperfect.” He continued in a dreamy tone, like he was reciting the hymn of the universe. “Imperfectum est perfectio. Perfectio est illusionis. Imperfection is perfection and perfection is illusion. So, you are an illusion, Raven.” He pointed his finger at Raven. Ouch. That must have hurt, and it clearly did. I gaped at Raven.

And memory means pain if things end.” Lily felt the truth of that press against her chest. She stood, not because she was needed, but because the moment invited her. “We’ve confused permanence with safety,” Lily said softly. “They aren’t the same.” Eyes turned toward her, not expectant, not reverent. Listening. “Nothing that lives is permanent,” Lily continued. “Not homes. Not bonds. Not even this place. What makes them worth choosing isn’t that they’ll last forever, it’s that they shape us while they’re here.”

"Pretty cool! I am a loner anyway. Can't deal with the selfish nature of mankind." "For me, I can't deal with mankind's immortality, darkness and degeneracy. I have lived it first hand, and I can say it is appalling." "Immortality doesn't exist!" I declared, taking a firm stand on my belief. " It is a mere fabric of a man who would die someday." "I meant immorality not immortality. Sorry! And immortality does exist, some species are. . . Humans aren't immortal." "As long as it has a beginning, it must have an end. Everything that has a beginning must have an end. Since we humans have a beginning so must we have an end," I said, counting the three times I had to say 'end'

People who glowed from within. "It's beautiful." "It's also temporary," a light-being said. "Nothing here is permanent. Everything shifts. Changes. Reforms. We build knowing it will unmake. We love knowing it will change." "How do you bear it? How do you love something knowing it's temporary?" "Because temporary doesn't mean meaningless. Because change doesn't mean loss. Because impermanence is what makes everything precious." Through the bonds, I felt Kade understanding. Hoping I'd understand too.
