"But so what?" the Parasite continued. "Life is life. Who cares if you understand shit or not? You just continue living and doing your thing."
"It's not that simple," Nick answers.
"How is it not that simple?" the rat asked. "Everyone's only eating and drinking to survive, and they work to eat and drink. Apart from that, people kind of just want to fuck or become rich."
"But in the end, none of that matters," the rat added. "You die anyway."
"Whether you have killed a million people or saved a million people. When you're dead, none of that matters. You're just a corpse at that point anyway."
"Whether you are alone or surrounded by family, you are just a corpse."
"A dead man can't hear their family's cries or their enemy's laughter."
Nick furrowed his brows as he kept looking forward.
In a way, the rat was right.
Nick couldn't really find a counterargument.
