I was living on borrowed time.

I realize it with clarity now:

I suppose we all are; but it became obvious to me last evening that it is especially true for Nambiet. It is against all odds we survived. Aside from the abuse and such, there were Inside conflicts as well, including the Rahkas and betrayal from our own. It seems to me that it was purposely meant to be too much. "Les jeux sont faits"...I know that now.

I feel the inevitable, the impending Darkness. The curtain closes, and I want to go home.

A spark of lucidity, a sigh of resignation: they cradle me, and I am calm.

Ai-sirni srelin...nai sirnè kaeli ilanen hkaduir, piro ponskaett nepreão. Kaeli ai-paevi, sikae.
