You cannot kill me in a way that matters, Miles told Manfred von Karma. I am not afraid of execution, for you killed my father, and with him, my happiness. My existence is naught but grief, and I am but a shell.

You cannot kill me in a way that matters, Miles told Damon Gant. I am not afraid of retribution, for you killed Joe Darke, and doubtless others, in my name. My honor is gone, and all that remains is this puppet of injustice. A puppet without a soul.

You cannot kill me in a way that matters, Miles told the unnamed attacker in his office. I am not afraid of your bullet, for death is but sweet relief, and one I freely choose. My vitality is eroded by myriad miseries, and all I seek is escape.

You cannot kill me in a way that matters, Miles told Kristoph Gavin. I am not afraid of your plots, for you imperiled the greatest man I know, tore his world from his fingers and hung danger over his head like a cloud. If I may have a hand in bringing you to justice, my life is a small price to pay.

Her poison couldn't kill me, Phoenix said. Nor could it shake the strength of my belief. I survived to meet you when you faced your demons anew. I lived to believe in you.

His stun gun couldn't kill me, Phoenix said. Nor could it deter me from seeking the truth. I survived to uncover the mastermind behind the puppet. I lived to redeem you.

A fall from a bridge couldn't kill me, Phoenix said. Nor could rushing waters separate me from my friends. I survived to support them in their time of need. I lived to stand by your side.

The speeding car couldn't kill me, Phoenix said. Nor the telephone pole that awaited me on the other end. I survived through sheer luck, nothing more and nothing less. I lived to see a hundred days, and then a thousand more. My office is an ever-changing kaleidoscope. New friends arrive, some for a short while, some longer. Old friends change and grow. But through it all, there's always you. From the past to the future, from now until forever, I lived to love you.
