Usually, people only realize they're lying in bed with death when the walls around them are those of a hospital. They've had all that time to be awesome and they've loved vanity. And, also usually, they want more time only to be able to seek after the lies they couldn't experience up to that point. Maybe one could say it's their fault up to a point, because family and society are supporters of the "dream", always surrounding the individual with the belief that it's "all" a beautiful thing. But I don't know, it still sounds to me like Adam blaming Eve and Eve blaming the serpent.
Depending on Corey, I would never have known this.
I figured it all out fearlessly "alone".
