Ethics [Thursday, November 9, 6th period]

Vader swept into the room and slammed the door behind him as usual.

"Immortality," he intoned, pacing in front of the class, mental walls incredibly strong. On this topic most of all, he had no interest in students poking around in his head. "Many beings have made life-altering choices in order to avoid dying, or to try to avoid someone they love dying. They've broken under torture, they've made pacts with powerful beings, they've sold their souls like a commodity. They've cloned themselves, murdered thousands, created machines to stop the passage of time."

Vader's cape billowed out around him as he turned. "Today's discussion is not about why all sentient and mortal beings seem to fear death. Today, you shall discuss what you would be prepared to give up if it would guarantee that you would live forever."

"Call me selfish, but no," she says, and she really means that. Even the conversation she had this morning means she's thinking in specifics, and how she's viewed by the only person she would think to do that for is something she can't deal with changing.

"Pray you never face that choice, then," Vader said quietly and walked away.
