How many more times do we have to come to terms with death before we find safety? he asked. He waited a few minutes, but the three of us didn't say anything. He continued: Every time people come at us with the intention of killing us, I close my eyes and wait for death. Even though I am still alive, I feel like each time I accept death, part of me dies. Very soon I will completely die and all that will be left is my empty body walking with you. It will be quieter than I am.
