there is something so delicious about the old guard's concept of temporary immortality. you will die and you will not stay dead. you have no hint or warning that this will happen before it happens for the first time and if other immortals do not find you to teach you, you have no idea of its limits, and actually, even then, you don't know. the oldest of you has been alive for millennia. the second other that she knew died after only a few hundred years presumably, and no one knows why. nile reminded andy what it felt like to feel unbreakable. but because you are immortal and it is temporary and you don't know when it will end, can you really live life that much differently? lower stakes, perhaps, but death, still, is always a possibility. you're too new, andy tells nile. but what if someone came along, and died after only ten years. after only ten deaths?

you will die and you will not stay dead except that one day you will.
