What's something you've given up before?

My daughter.

...Can I ask what you mean by that, or is this something I should stay out of completely?

I let my ex have full custody in the divorce. It's better for my daughter that way.

Ah, I think I get it. Too busy with work?

Cops make terrible single parents.

Drugs.

Good for you. Still clean?

Ten months and counting.

My life.

Please don't tell me you're someone else who came back from the dead.

I've done repeatedly, if it makes any difference.

So wait, are you just the kind of person that can't actually die, or you're just lucky (or unlucky, depends on the point of view, I guess) enough to keep on coming back every time?

I'm more than capable of dying. However, the primordial force that I'm bonded with returns me to life therafter. Whether I want to return or not.

I don't suppose you'd know if there's an afterlife, would you?

I'm afraid not. The place I ended up...was more like Purgatory than anything else.

...But that's still something, rather than nothing. Huh.

Everything.

What for?

To protect the people I care about.

My life, my home, my potential career.

But you still have a life, a home, and a career, so obviously something must've gone right for you.

Yes, very different from what I had before though. And the career is new. It took me twenty-five years to secure a career after I gave up my old one.

Cocaine.
