I know... I know it's true it's just... I... we... lost someone very close to us to the very same fate I warned you of. Someone we all loved, someone we gladly would have laid our own lives on the line to protect in the blink of an eye... someone who could never truly be replaced. They sacrificed themselves for not only the sake of the billions of lives living in our world... but the trillions, and quadrillions and the infinite quantity of lives that may yet be lived without fear of living in Grima's shadow ever again.

Who can really say if one life is worth more than another? If the lives of a thousand are as worthy as one? They are the kinds of thoughts that have caused war and strife for eons, and to make those calls...

Just... please... before you consider doing such a thing... think about those you will leave behind, say the things you always feared to say... because never knowing... never knowing what could have been is nearly the worst part... please... I must... take my leave of you now.
