Banagher. Are you not sacrificed enough?
And what use are you if you are dead? Do you not consider that?
You will die. That is certain. You help nothing by making it quicker.
Stay alive. For those who need you. For those who do not. For yourself, if it serve you.
You are nothing if you are dead.
You will. Because you bleed, and you breathe, and you look to the stars to find your answers, you will die.
So stay alive for as long as you can.
I would not advise you to trust me, for that matter.

What can I do? "Nothing" is cruel.

That's strange advice.
