[@Xspy70]

There is something so surreal in hearing the voice of a passed away person send himself off. In a way, Rick May surpassed his physical death, and can even comment on his physical demise. That is because Rick May is immortalized in the character he gave so much life into. This is the philosophical immortality so commonly talked about in literature. This is the immortality so many rulers tried to achieve by trying to be remembered in history. Video games allowed Rick May to live on as Soldier - to be able to, in a way, comment even on his own physical death through the works of others, who have his voice and will continue using it - making Rick May appear in our lives in many, many years to come. They say a man dies twice - first when he takes his last breath, and second when nobody remembers him. Thanks to video games and the sheer effort, life and personality he gave to Soldier that accumulated over these 13 years - Rick May will be alive for a long time yet. He will be alive as the Soldier himself - a shard or a part of his personality that he nurtured for so many years. It is like a mini-him. A son that he raised for 13 years - a legacy he leaves behind that will continue his existence in this world.
