Aura was in pain.
Despite mankind's rapidly advancing technology, Aura simply couldn't afford to live forever.
And he was scared. Scared because he knew that today would be his last, scared that he would die and that everything would be over.
So he prayed. He wished.
He thought 'Please God, please let me have one more chance, just one more shot. I wish to have one more chance to accomplish my dreams of immortality, to one day stand atop the world I love!'
And as he had this thought, he fell asleep.
