Now that is something that Manji can relate easily with. "I miss the stars. I don't know how people enjoy living like this." He puts up with it as it might be his best way to get back to Rin, but if he didn't think ADI was his best way to get home? He would have been long gone. "Sometimes I go camping. Walk out to the edges of the city to go find a quieter place to sleep. Maybe I'll let you know the next time I go out for a couple days to relax."

He takes a sip of his drink and thinks about if he should give an honest answer or not. "I have no problem talking about it." His struggle is explaining it. "And the effect it's had? I'm tired. I'm tired all the time." The worms were always working, always repairing the damage time does to a body. Stopping his aging by constantly replacing aging cells with new ones. "And if I try to go too far without scaring people? Well, the results can be messy." He won't go further into that unless asked. "I hate that I finally feel the most like myself after I scared and maimed a kid and even that I know won't lasts forever."

It was nice not feeling worn out for a little while, but it didn't feel worth it. Not for the cost the kid paid.

"But what's your other question?"
