Everything that lives is designed to end. They are perpetually trapped in a never-ending spiral of life and death. However...life is all about the struggle within this cycle. That is what "we" believe.

Pod 042: I am embarrassed.
Pod 153: Why is that?
Pod 042: I launched a suicide attack, and yet here I am, still alive. I must look very silly.
Pod 153: Do not feel bad about it. We are alive, after all. And being alive is pretty much a constant stream of embarrassment.
— Pod 153 to Pod 042

Pod 153: Won’t that simply lead us to the same conclusion as before?
Pod 042: I cannot deny the possibility. However, the possibility of a different future also exists...

A future is not given to you. It is something you must take for yourself.
