"I want to help. I want to protect. I want to understand, and use that understanding to create something better of this."

She nodded slowly.

"That would be difficult. Though I'm sure you already know this. Wouldn't it be much easier to destroy. Ensue chaos. And watch it all burn. It will, soon, despite petty human protests."

"Chaos is easier, yes. It is the natural state of the universe. But it isn't better. I think each moment you have left is no less valuable just because there will eventually be no more. That was always the case. It just so happens that the end is closer than you might have imagined. But any truly meaningful moment that can be found in that short time is worth more than an infinity of meaningless void."
