"Jesus, even on my deathbed you want to nag," snapped Zen. "only you can make my bleeding to death be all about how it affects you."

"Make it to heaven when I'm not around. I'm not going to sit back and just watch you bleed to death on my couch," Lithe retorted, "so just tell me the real reason you won't swallow the damn painkillers."
