[ No one can escape death. For that was the universal truth. Gilgamesh knows it as well. He and Death were no different. They were arbiters.
For Justice? For Evil?
No. Simply for humans.
That's why Gilgamesh was angry. That's why he rages at the Heavens. For Gilgamesh is "HUMAN." ]
THEN TAKE/KILL ME INSTEAD! WAS I NOT TO BLAME? WAS THE CAUSE NOT BY ME?
[ The Epic of Gilgamesh stated that the King of Uruk feared dying after witnessing his dear friend decade back to mud. Maggots crawled from Enkidu's body. His form breaks under Gilgamesh's arms. The primordial fear of DEATH whispered to the King that he, too, would be like that. That was what was written, yet what Ryoji witnessed was utterly different.
Was this the real Gilgamesh? The almighty King of Uruk. The one that brings Heaven and Earth together. One who was born inhuman, yet here he lies before Death, acting as human as he could ever be. Teary eyes glared up at the Heavens. Voice cursed the Gods that gave birth to him. Emotions that were raw and bare for all to see. ]
A life for a life? Is that not so? Then, take my life. Return Enkidu to the people!
[ That was wrong. Gilgamesh has a duty to foresee. He has a legacy that he must leave behind. ]
