[he nods in understanding - he's been there too, albeit he will assume the direct cause is different]

I worry after you, my friend.

To live as long as we have takes it own toll.

[given that yjh (and perhaps kdj) are the only individuals here that jiji really considers as possibly older than him]

[ me sweating about dokja's age ]

... What helps it to take on a certain mentality and stick with it. It is how Constellations who also live just as long survive their boredom.

[ ... His shoulders sink. ]

I don't plan to give up.

[he smiles faintly at that]

No, I did not think you would... Do you wish to live as long as they do? Your Constellations.

Or perhaps - even longer still, to see the world that can come after them?

[malewife]

I have already seen the world with a starless sky, but I don't want to live forever.

[ He thinks immortality is overrated? What's the point of living long if you watch people die and you get to suffer longer. ]

[honestly?

kind of relatable but he doesn't quite say it,]

... then what is it that would bring you satisfaction, my friend?

[ stop being old ]

To live a normal life with those I care for. Nothing extravagant.

[ It's simple, but ambitious in its own way. ]
