"About this.... this choice of mine," he said.
"I thought I could do this without a second thought. That I could leave this world and choose to live in another.

He looked up and nodded.
"Yes. Scared."
"That's a normal human feeling, being scared."
The boy nodded again.
"You're scared of dying..." the raven mused.
"Yet at the same time you're also scared of leaving this world to become immortal in another one."
"Yes. Something like that."
The bird laughed.
"What a confusing paradox."
