""Kematian," kata Akiva. Hidupnya membuatnya cepat sekarang karena dia tidak lagi memegang lukanya. Matanya hanya ingin melayang tertutup. "Saya siap." "Yah, tidak. Aku dengar itu membosankan, mati." Dia mengatakannya dengan ringan, geli, dan dia menatapnya. Apakah dia baru saja membuat lelucon? Dia tersenyum. Tersenyum Dia juga melakukannya. Terkagum-kagum, dia merasakannya terjadi, seolah senyumnya telah memicu refleks dalam dirinya. "Dull terdengar bagus," katanya, membiarkan matanya bergetar. "Mungkin aku bisa mengejar bacaanku.""

"Death," said Akiva. His life was leaving him fast now that he no longer held his wound. His eyes just wanted to drift closed. "I'm ready." "Well, I'm not. I hear it's dull, being dead." She said it lightly, amused, and he peered up at her. Had she just made a joke? She smiled. Smiled. He did, too. Amazed, he felt it happening, as if her smile had triggered a reflex in him. "Dull sounds nice," he said, letting his eyes flutter closed. "Maybe I can catch up on my reading."
