neat theory

[Anonymous No.23475643]

Sounds like a hole problem.
As an Aryan man nothing seems more ideal than:
A) death in battle against another man
B) death in battle against a beast
C) death in dangerous stunt
Like who wants to die of old age? Literally your only duty on this world is to die. And you are so pathetic you can only die of old age?

If you were expecting anything other than a derailment into conversation about when she hit the wall or a rolling exposition then I'm not sure what to tell you, other than the /Lit/izens do need recreation from time to time.

Yes, your body will age, how you deal with the time issue is entirely up to you, coping is voluntary not mandatory.
