By then, Laruku was fairly certain that he was not going to die. He wasn't sure he particularly cared, either. Or at least, he didn't at that particular moment.

Everything was the same. The flames didn't matter and whoever it was beside him was mostly irrelevant. A faceless stranger in the night, someone he may or may not ever see again.

We're dying since they day we're born. Every day we're one step closer.It was, after all, something inevitable. Even if ghosts continued to exist after that.
