a distraction from the inevitable

X: "I don't want to play this..."


Jil: "What happened to you? You used to love playing video games..."


X: "That's because I could escape. I suppose you could say the same about any other art form, books, music, art. Fantasy isn't real, beautiful, but not life. Sometimes I wish I could regress."


Jil: "Why don't you...?"


X: "Because it hurts too much to know that it won't last forever. Everything is just a distraction from the inevitable."


Jil: "Which is: ?"


X: "Death."


Jil: "Is there something wrong with being distracted...? Maybe it's a good thing. Maybe it will allow you to enjoy life again."


X: "...Maybe."
