Immorality isn't all it's cracked up to be.

For a while, everyone on Earth was immortal. We had to change it back.

Guess it might be a problem if everyone was immortal.

Problem didn't begin to cover it all. People still got sick and injured, but there was no real healing. People would linger on in... hospitals. In the end, the most severe cases were carted in to camps.

Oi. Yeah...you fixed it though?

... yeah. We fixed it.

How?

A single gunshot. I killed millions of people with a single gunshot.

You shot the person makin' the whole world immortal?

I shot the only mortal man to change everyone else back to the way they were before the Miracle.

I'm sorry. That had to be hard.

It had to be done.

Still, couldn't've been easy.

... it wasn't.

What made them immortal in the first place?

The blood of an immortal man and something that was part of the Earth when it began. It's still not something we completely understand.

Not somethin' you can replicate then.

Why in hell would I want to?

Sorry. [There's some wincing.] I meant just...on a more individual basis.

So this isn't such an innocent question, is it?

S'not hypothetical anyway

Why would you want something like that?

Because someone I love is practically immortal.

What about everyone else around you? Parents? Friends? Think you'd like to watch them all grow old and die while you stay the same?

Already left them. I made my choice a long time ago. I'm never gonna leave him.

You don't want immortality. I've seen what it can do to people. You don't want that.
