Once that happens, it’s a neurological downward spiral, they become like living corpses. Eventually their autonomic nervous system stops working and their vital functions shut down.”

“This is all that remains of the world. Though we knew it was coming, it’s pretty shocking, huh? The disappearance not of matter but of awareness, of ideals. Not death. Something even more pure. The fact that we life-forms ever existed…… Our past, present and future, it will all disappear.”

“Why have I come to have this conscience? If it’s this agonizing, I shouldn’t have had it. Just what am I?”
