“You said would never die. You said you couldn’t.”
“I did not; you interpreted what I said that way.”
“Then what did you say?? You died!”
“Everyone has to die at some point. I said I couldn’t die forever.”
“Well what does that mean?!”
“It means that I can’t stay dead.”
“What the Hell does that even mean!?”
“It means I’m reborn when I die! Now stop yelling at me!”
“How do you expect me to stop yelling?! You just died! Right in front of me!”
“I realize that!”
“And you just came back from the dead and are telling me to stop yelling!? This can’t be real!”
“Well believe it. It’s real, I’m alive again.”
“What does reborn mean? You’re not a baby again, you’re just as you were before you died.”
“I’m reborn in a special way. You saw the fire?”
“Yes I saw the fire, what was that all about??”
“That was my rebirthing. I have the soul of a phoenix; do you remember what that is?”
…
“Yes... The fire bird reborn after it dies... But they start all over again, as a chick. What makes you different?”
“Do I look like a bird to you? I have the soul of a phoenix. I’m not phoenix, but I can do what they do. I can be reborn.”
“Wait, can be? You mean you don’t have to be?”
“That’s right, if I choose to give up my life force, I don’t come back. I stay dead.”
“So, you can die!”
“Yes, okay, I lied, I can really die forever. If I choose to. But why would I ever choose to do that? I will always come back as long as I’m needed.”
“What if someone tells you they don’t need you and then you die?”
…
“If they’re serious and I can’t feel any need to come back… Then I don’t.”
“So, if no one in the entire world needs you… Then you don’t come back? Ever?”
“If I’m no longer needed immediately, anywhere on the planet then I won’t ever come back until my soul is reincarnated into another being.”
“You’re crazy…”
“It’s true.”
“What is? That you’re crazy? Or what you just said?”
“Both.”
…
“You knew I needed you?”
“I’ll always know.”
…
“I love you.”
“I love you too, I always will.”
