[ Frieren's mind opens up; as before, on the surface it's a calm, smooth pond. She's not quite used to this, so the connection (at first) is a touch tentative and then as she feels her way forward it opens more until she thinks she's finally ready. ]

I have a question for all of you. And you may consider it a simple matter of curiosity; I won't take offense at being ignored.

[ There's a pause, as if she's collecting her thoughts. ]

How many of you are long-lived species? Or long-lived by virtue of who you are? My kind are rare, even in my world, so I can't assume others will be particularly more common here, at the end of the universe.

[ It's an open question. ]

I don't know if "fix" is the right word. I lost someone and I realized that I never got a chance to know them as I wished...

[ She pauses and considers before continuing. ]

I decided I was going to try and do my best after that. I suppose the principle works even if you aren't outliving someone because of age. It's a matter of perspective.

Does it come naturally to try your best? Or is it something you've gotta consciously think about, every single day?

[ Based on his tone, it'd be reasonable to assume he falls under the latter category. Mostly because he does. ]

A little of both, I think.

[ She can't really say with total certainty. ]
