When are you going to die.
Things like this. There's no way to find out.
[That ... even though you are basically human, but there are remnants of vampire characteristics in you? Because of this, things like lifespan etc, what would happen to them?]
[.... mm]
This.
I definitely have not thought about before.
Or--I'm trying to avoid thinking about this.
Even though I often use the phrase "my whole life"--but this life, how many years am I talking about?
[Even if you barely/forcefully return to being a human, your lifespan might still be that of a vampire-some of your regenerative abilities still remain right? You will not get sick, but it is also painful--you cannot die from accidents. Probably, you became immortal already--just like me, you probably can live 400-500 years]
[...]
[Lovers, friends, kouhais, sisters--everyone will die and disappear, just you and I remain. No matter what kind of relationships you build with others, time will destroy them all]
This is not a metaphor.
More so--this is not a carefree topic.
This is like talking about a predetermined future.
This just feels like--like her personal experience.
A leg appeared in the bathtub--
Shinbou kicked my stomach.
It seems like kicking won't satisfy her ....
The rest of it goes onto something else more ... fun. But that's probably the conversation they had regarding his "probable immortal status".
I honestly don't care if the casts are immortal or not, as long as their personalities don't change. And Mayoi's definitely part of his harem ... his behavior toward her is too loliconlike (despite him vehemently denying it).
I have not read beyond Nise 1, so if Nisio Isin talk more about it in Nise 2, I wouldn't know.
