[He hasn't forgotten Dist's estimate- a handful of years, and that was years ago. It wasn't even a guarantee. Time away from Luke had helped, since fonons that have nowhere to go tend to cluster, and going back to Auldrant had more or less reset the timeline of it all, but he could still feel it. Hard to imagine a future when your body's determined to fall apart.
A future has never been something guaranteed to him- just promised to him by men he no longer trusted.]
I've already spent years here- six years, going by this world's calendar. I'm a dead man walking. I surpassed the Score's prediction, my own death, my coming of age. I'm not looking for death, but living here hasn't exactly given me much to fight for, either. What do you expect of me, Guy? Am I supposed to be happy in this place? Because I haven't had much reason to be so far.
