Why do you love, Colibri?
It is necessary.
How so?
It is the only logical response.
To what?
To existence.

while this is an absolutely A+ book so far - real cure for what ails ya - there's a tiny thing about the worldbuilding... in this setting, the human lifespan seems to be a decent bit shortened. We just met "one of the oldest people on the planet". He's 74. But, simultaneously, a 22-year-old was just referred to as "the kid". IDK, that feels like a discrepancy to me.
