He thinks of becoming a doctor.
In his mind, doctors are soldiers in the war against death. Curing illnesses, healing wounds, he imagines they must feel adept, powerful, in control, and he wants that.
Knowledge is the greatest weapon, but despite her, apparently many, illnesses, his sister didn't die from anything curable. Even knowing how to get through the well, he would lack the powers necessary to do so.
Time and magic have combined their forces and there is no weapon against that, at least not any he knows to wield.
Sitting next to the well, he feels hopelessly inept.
