Maybe that’s why there’s a strange sort of finality to so many things he says. Maybe that’s why when he says things like life is too short, he doesn’t mean himself. In some ways, I wonder if he feels like he’s done. He ran the race. He completed the task. Why would he ever want to do it again? It’s not a wound so much as a sense of completion. It isn’t really as sad or hopeless a realization as I might’ve thought.
