Collector (4)

After such a question was asked, the young boy synced towards a fair amount of contemplation. Because just a few seconds ago, he had accepted that death was only minutes away; but now a contradictory option was offered.

As a start, he didn't know if this opportunity should give happiness that he could live longer, or sadness that he still could not escape this cursed life.

But after thinking it through a bit more, he recalled the reason why he avoided death in the very beginning. It was so simple but yet it carried a ship-load of emotions.

He had died once and reincarnated into this body. With the chance of a new life given to the boy, why should he die again under such a short period of time? That was the thought he embraced in the beginning, and he didn't want to steer away from it now.
