There is nothing for you to apologize for, Miss Ringo... Not for anything I've been through that is. It is a sad story... One that has been sensationalized and spoken about as if the five of us were simply fantasy characters in a story. And I miss those four more than I could ever properly express...
Tomorrow will always come but not everyone is promised it. Life, even to the long lived species, is beautiful because it is fleeting. And despite the hardship of war and conflict, of loss and grief... Tomorrow will always be worth living. So we do our best to face it with a smile just in case there isn't another.
And when it is our time... it is our time. To live longer than we are meant to is no kindness to a mortal. [He closes his eyes, contemplating his words for a few silent moments.] I suppose I sound like I am chiding you for my ideals. I do apologize as it is a deeply personal matter. And despite this seeming like a universal concept it could always be different elsewhere. And it was, as you said, to save the world.
I would simply take care, Miss Ringo. [He reaches out, should it be alright, to cup her cheek.] Especially if it is detrimental to your own well being. You are a valuable young lady capable of a great many things. Do not throw parts of yourself away for the sake of others no matter how cherished... I know I would feel no small amount of sorrow if someone were to do that for me.
