—¿Y qué ocurre cuando uno muere?
—Tampoco yo lo sé.
—Entonces, ¿por qué tener miedo? —dice Oswald—. Yo creo que no ocurre nada.
Y si ocurre algo que es mejor que nada, pues mejor que mejor.
—¿Y si lo que ocurre es peor que nada? —le digo.
—No existe nada peor que nada. Pero si no es nada, no podré saberlo porque yo no seré nada.
Oyéndolo hablar así, siento que Oswald es un genio.
—Pero, y si no existes, ¿qué? —le pregunto—. El mundo entero seguirá viviendo
sin ti. Como si nunca hubieras pasado por aquí. Y el día en que todas las personas que has conocido también hayan muerto, será como si nunca, nunca hubieras existido. ¿No te
parece una pena que pase eso?
—Si salvo a Max, no. Si lo salvo, existiré para siempre.


Matthew Dicks
