"So, do you believe in gods, Chief?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because they are also beings who will not be able to test the flow of time."

"Aren't they immortal?"

"Yes, but not immoral or sane. Without proper measurements, they can become just as bad as humanity."

"Then...what are you, Chief?"

"Me.....I'm a dead God walking."

"Even though I can hear your heartbeat when I'm on your chest?"

"...Yes, even with a beating heart, I'm still dead."

"Don't drag yourself down."

"...I wonder if I am."
