[It's late at night when the feed clicks on-- and there is a weary face from Asuma to accompany it. He speaks quietly, only too aware of the hour.]
Hopefully I'm not waking anyone who was already asleep. I seem to have woken up, and somehow I can't quite get back to it.
So instead of tossing and turning in bed... I thought I'd pose another question. Ah, but it's a little morbid, so if you don't want to discuss it, I would be happy to talk about other things instead.
[He pauses for a moment, choosing his words carefully.]
In your lives... how do you come to terms with your own mortality? It's something I had to come to terms with quickly in my own life due to circumstances, but I've become curious. All of us - well, no. Generalizations don't always work here, now do they? Most of us won't live forever. Some even come from dangerous backgrounds where the chance of survival is not especially high. How do you, personally deal with this?
[After these solemn words, he gives a slight chuckle.]
...Of course, it's late. I might even regret this question by the time morning comes properly. Ah, well. If you don't want to talk about dark things, answer me this instead: how are you, and what do you plan to do for the holidays?
