Andrei: Hmm. . . Nozing optimistic here. Ellesha: On the material plane it's what we have: layer after layer of eating. Soo: I wish dare were a way beyond it all. Philyra: You can't get beyond it – all the chanting & bowing & praying iz basically non-sense & marketing. However, you can make a heroic choice not ta fear & stand wherever you're needed. Jules: I'm not a hero, just an ordinary dude with plenty ah short-comings. In fact, at times I wonder if I'm human: there are so life forms swimming in this skull. Andrei: Zhat's the same as all of us. And I kun relate to zis poem – it reminds me of Dovlatov and Golding.
