[ Gilgamesh considered his words carefully. Even admitting as such felt like it would be letting his guard down, but...in a way, what did it matter? Their time had passed.
They were really no longer among the living, so...he drew his gaze away to look at their surroundings once more.
Talking to Haku reminded him of one of those people. Though there was an absurd difference. No one could ever truly compare to Enkidu, after all. ]
You're correct that those 'people' are no longer with me.
[ He was too stubborn to acknowledge those words then, and felt too stubborn to believe in them now, so it's no surprise he had little interest in admitting such a thing directly. ]
And it should remain that way. The Foundation has been enough of a nuisance already by bringing us here; seeing more than one familiar face in all of this here would bring too great of a test on my patience.
