There should be some meaning to my life

[waterfell]

I won't be able to care for Mama when she grows older.

I never had anyone near me growing up. Papa was gone, Mama was busy, and I didn't make friends. When I thought I finally did, it was a lie and they weren't the friends I was looking for. When I finally found the ones who could be, I didn't realize it for a long time. Now that I finally see them, is it too late?

There are a lot of places I haven't seen, things I never experienced.

I wanted to be strong enough to fight with them to the end- as a fellow warrior.

But... somehow it feels good to rest right now.

Yeah, whatever! You've still got thoughts to think with, or how the hell are you talking to me now? If you've got anything, you've got something to fight with.

So don't give up.

You want me to live?

[There's power in that, even she knows as much; power in someone wishing for someone else, calling out to them, remembering them even if they're gone.]

Why the hell not?

[Which is yes, in Reno-speak.]

[It's not so much that she has reasons why not, as she can't think of many reasons why.]

Why?
