[ Rhy is quiet for some time. He knows how Kell feels, honestly. He knows what Kell's answer to this question would be.
He knows also the depth of the horror that gripped him when he awoke with that scar on his chest and the feeling of Kell's heart beating alongside his own within it. Should he have a choice -- especially one that doesn't end in his own permanent demise -- Rhy knows he could never choose to live out their days as the albatross around his brother's neck.
Slowly, Rhy shakes his head no. ]
It's not something to 'reclaim.' Kell's life is his, and should have remained so. I'm glad for the Singularity's interference.
[ A faint, rough laugh sticks in his throat. ]
After all, it's not as if I want to die. But this way, at least Kell can be free.
