[ A warrior? he reads aloud. Sounds quite antiquated. The thought strikes him that his interlocutor could be from centuries ago. Or centuries in the future... ]

I was no one special. I was in denial of many things. I had been ill for a while, and knew I was going to die. And yet -- embarrassing to admit for a scientist or engineer, which I was -- I didn't want to believe it. Isn't that foolish?

But I didn't die the way I was supposed to. Maybe that's why I'm here.

May I ask you where or when you're from? I don't think warriors still exist where I come from.
