Sebastian looked at Kyle with a mixed expression. On one hand, he felt like Kyle had been needlessly reckless, but on the other hand, he was also happy to be alive. On top of that, he could also see where Kyle was coming from.

"Yeah, I used to," Kyle answered with some annoyance. "I've fled a lot from my responsibilities in the past. I knew that I should do what's right, but I've always prioritized myself. That's why I wanted to be like him in the past."
"But that's simply not who I am. I am not a cell. I can't kill myself so that the body can stay healthy. Why do we live? Why do we keep going through so much shit?"
