[ There's a long pause while Ichigo thinks this over. On one hand, he gets what you're saying, Nate. But, on the other, that sounds like a little slice of hell. ]

...Going through any life, no matter how long or short it is, all alone is no way to be.

I mean...what's the point of your existence if you don't leave behind some good stuff? People who knew you, who you helped out. Memories of great things. Knowing you don't have much time should mean you live every day you've got to the fullest.

Live well. Smile as much as you can, and when you do die, do it with a smile.

[ A wise man once said the same to Ichigo, and he thinks it sounds like good advice. ]
