Mo Yinan lived to be 65.
Kang Siwoo killed himself at 21.

It's strange how time elapses when you're constantly dying and being born again.
Raziel Ervenir sometimes still recalls himself as Mo Yinan, for that is the life that shines the brightest. The others, including this one now, can only be counted as failures, no matter what Ouros says.
