"Kinda got a way about doin' shit," Gamzee muttered quietly, still poking at the floor. "Can't die, so I just cease to be, I guess. G'on off to another reality. Not a different timeline. Different motherfuckin' page of a long-ass novel, where every motherfuckin' page is a motherfuckin' universe." He shrugged at that. "Dunno where that up and came from. Never been anywhere but where I's been. Been up on this rock since everything went belly up. But I'm guessin' that's where that other me went."

He turned to face Dave, giving the other his full attention. "Still got some time to be doin' shit up right. Don't gotta be gloomy about it. Should be glad we got a definitive end to this bullshit. You ain't chicken for not wantin' to be facin' death. Ain't nobody wants that. You just got the globes to admit the shit ain't nobody else does."
