What’s happened happened. Which is an expression of faith in the mechanics of the world. It’s not an excuse to do nothing.
Welcome to the afterlife.
Lying is standard operating procedure.
It’s the bomb that didn’t go off. The danger no one knew was real. That’s the bomb with the real power to change the world.
Each generation looks after its own survival.

I’ll see you at the beginning, friend.[to the Protagonist]
