[Isn't that the age-old question? Why doesn't he want to find a way to live? Why isn't he treasuring this second chance? Why isn't he living it to the fullest?
Is isn't as though he can blame Stahn for wanting him to have a better second chance. It's not as though he can blame those who know that he's dead for wanting more for him.
But he doesn't want it. He's exhausted. He had to dig deep to make it even to the end of the line, and now that he has... he just has nothing left. The way that he's been stumbling along in Cerealia hardly counts as living, really, and he knows it. But he doesn't deserve another life anyway, so it works perfectly.
But it means that Lili is the one who gets the harsh edge of his ire here, because he's been worn down over and over and over again, over something that he already doesn't think he deserves.]
I have nothing left.
[It's said sharply, so sharply and so bitterly, even as he stares her down.]
And I do not need to hear from someone like you that I should be striving for something I do not want!
