[ WP ] You tell Death that you will never tire of living no matter how long you live . It makes you a bet that you will and thus grants you true immortality . You 've just lived through the second death of the universe and show no sign of stopping . Death is baffled .

`` How?'' he asked, his voice still as cold as the day I met him. `` After eons and eons of heartbreak and loss, war and hatred, how are you still in love with life?'' 
 
 `` It's simple, really.'' I replied, `` You of all people should know of the circle.'' 
 
 `` The circle! Ha!'' Death snorted. 
 
 `` Yes, the circle. I've seen it I do n't know how many times now.'' 
 
 `` It's been about thirty.'' 
 
 `` Okay, so I've seen it thirty times, and each time manages to be just as beautiful as the last.'' 
 
 `` How? You've lost everyone you've ever loved, seen the world blown to pieces again and again. How can you still be in love with that damn circle? You know I told you that as a joke.'' 
 
 `` It does n't matter. Not to me. I love the circle of life. Because no matter how many times I think I've seen it all. The universe shows me just how beautiful it can be all over again. Every time you and I see the circle, it happens all over again, the explosion, the formation and destruction of the stars, the stars forming planets, and then eventually humans. Oh humans. They create beautiful art, they explore the peaks of the Earth and the depths of the oceans, they love, they lose, they try something and fail and then try something else, they create magnificent spectacles, they pray to deities, and every time is different. In the moment, they're afraid that the beauty that they see wo n't last, but it does n't matter. All that matters is that it's beautiful in the moment, and then when that moment is over, another one starts. The beauty of the world is change. It's always changing, and that's why it never ceases to be beautiful.'' 
 
 `` But you're the same. You're just an observer, you do n't actually get to change anything.'' 
 
 `` I pity you, Death. I really do. I pity your inability to see the beauty of the universe. But I do, and I'd love to see it again.''
