My wife has told me the same. She became immortal centuries ago and in that time has been killed in every way you might imagine. She's stoic about the inevitability of pain... but though one can become used to a regular, expected pain, that doesn't mean one will be able to bear a new type of suffering.

[ And he's been bracing himself knowing that as he gets older the probability he'd be tortured by someone fearful of an immortal will become a certainty... but it's not easy. It's not going to be easy. He huffs ]

This is depressing. And I haven't even had my breakfast! [ Never mind that it's far past 10am by now... ]
