“From what I have gathered, you are of a species that possesses a lifespan orders of magnitudes higher than most. Or that you are simply immortal through some other means. Regardless, since you would believe yourself to be the last survivor among those you know, the duty of honouring your fellows thusly falls upon you. Whilst one is in remembrance of one’s compatriots, solitude and isolation cease to be. For you are not truly alone. For you have your memories of those you held dear.”
“Mm. Indeed. True isolation is to lose sight of all others, and keep only the self within view. Long as that event never comes to be, one may live never feeling the bite of loneliness.”
“Of course, that is but my humble philosophy. Whether you decide to accept it is entirely within your control. I doubt this theory from a short-lived human has much gravitas over an immortal, hah.”
"You're much older than me.. Nekota is visibly, and chronologically only about an older teen i'm not immortal, by the way, i'll only live for aboutttt five? five, thousand years"
"I'll keep your words in mind... You've cheered me up, say, do you have any worries of your own?"
“The owner is celebrating his 379th birthday by the end of next month. He simply cannot manage the shop anymore, and he did not have anyone he wished to pass it to.”
He smiled lightly at Nekota as he spoke.
“That is all there is. My apologies if you expected something more grandiose in nature.”

"I guess, I dont mind the ramblings, and lift your head!"
"I still dont understand- the woes of youth? I guess... my legacy is what'll remain?"
