- Then how did you get out?

You really want to know?

It's 2,000 years ago, so I'm doing fine.

My pain threshold is still

built for birthing,

so lava is fine.

My oxytocin case study?

I got it from her.

It's hereditary.

She gave it all up for me and my father.

I don't want to die and I don't

want to watch anyone die.

Well, at least you got the same

backstory as Harry Potter.

That's pretty cool.

Can I say something

in absolute sincerity?

I'm gonna miss the hell out of you.

Like, it's gonna f***ing hurt, bad.

Your perfect male fantasy

just shattered.

A younger wife and a sugar mama.

Yeah, you forgot the incest part.

I mean, I'm an open-minded guy,

but I probably wouldn't want that.

That's the Temple of Apollo sundial.

- This?

- No, no, no.

After we borrowed him

from the ancient Greeks,

he was replaced by Jesus,

and now we don't know

who the old clock belongs to.

Um, one last thing you should know.

Right before I transform,

if I transform...

that monster

is gonna be the biggest and sharpest.

How big?

Just run.

Really fast.

We never got my clothes.

No. One of us says something

about journey and destination.

Destinations are underrated?

You ever wonder

what life is like in the finite?

Terrifying all the time, I'm sure.

I don't think so.

Even at my lowest, I'm still excited

to use the time the best I can.

There's motivation to make

every second count.

You never got lonely?

Not since I met you.

Doesn't it scare you losing that?

What are you doing?

Begging.

Go on, it's time.

Tell me more about the finite.

let's see, uh...

when you're sick,

it makes you feel lucky

for all the times when you were healthy.

Uh, sunrises and sunsets...

some things

are just beautiful no matter what

and a constant reminder

that you only get so many.

So you better f***ing enjoy 'em.

Some pizza and a bottle of wine

with the right person

that can make the shittiest day better.

Coffee dates take up a pretty

good chunk of your time, but...

but they're worth it.

I don't know, you can choose

to work yourself to death,

but you could also

throw all that work away

without regrets for the right person.

Maybe that's chemical,

but it's also magic.

Uh, love comes around

a couple times, if you're lucky.

Life probably seems short

no matter what, but...
