He loves having people listen to him! But that's what's so wonderful about the Nexus. Everyone seems so receptive, always listening to talk of his studies with comments like 'sure' and 'I see'. Nevermind that the comments seem kind of confused and noncommittal. He rarely catches that part, if ever.

"Those who die without dying are in some way touched by Great Ones. Beings of higher planes that travel and shape the cosmos as they care to. As they too can uncouple the spirit from the body, so can we who are chosen, or who strive. Death is not an end. It is simply...a transformation. And who or what shall you transform into? That is for you to determine."

Strangely uplifting, really.
