"... the Undying were weighed down by the huge burden of the past, each locked into a separate world.
... The present is just a surface bubble of sensation surrounding a great bubble of memory. You forget how to see, to hear; you forget how to talk to people. You forget other people even *exist*. You sink inwards into yourself, thinking about the past. Living on and on without end."
