    The relationship is still framed with urgency, because you know that one day your partner is going to die. Drag thinks that would make an immortal being love hard and fast.

      I get what Drag is saying and I agree with that, but my nuance is that over time, that urgency would disappear. After a thousand heart break, eventually it becomes normality.

        Drag thinks that’s like saying after eating a thousand meals, food would stop tasting good. Drag has had many thousands of meals throughout drag’s life. They’re far apart enough that drag is usually hungry by the time the next one comes along. Drag’s sense of hunger keeps on returning, day after day, because hunger is a biological function that’s designed to work that way. Drag thinks love would keep coming back, again and again, for the same reason.
