Never really had one, other than to live. Which I guess was a given.

Is there anyone of importance to you?

People tended to avoid me.

Then what were you doing before I met you? Other then getting “killed”

I was alive, little else.

Alright then. So you aren’t really doing anything other than living, perfect.

Do you intend to use me?

In a way, yes, I’ll be honest. However, doesn’t everyone use everyone else in some way?

They do. I would think that people can give to each other selflessly.

And yet they are being used. It appears I misspoke. Everyone either uses someone or is used.

Are you being used if you give to someone without being asked? If a stranger is kind to me, I am not using them. They are simply being kind.

Yet you are still using them, if not on purpose. They are choosing to be used and therefore become useful. Being used is not bad, if the one who is used retains their agency.

At that point, perhaps the word 'used' loses its meaning. If it just means someone doing something for someone else under any circumstance, it's not a useful distinction.

Then our disagreement is only about the definition of a word. But being used or doing things for me will be good for you.

I guess we'll see, if I ever get out from underground.

I’m glad you didn’t immediately shoot the idea down. Getting out is a problem though, but there isn’t anything we can do, is there?

As if on cue, there was a thump from above.

That... could be a good sign.
