      Well, the odds of one partner passing first are a lot higher than both going at the same time :( but that’s a problem for future we.

            What’s dark about this? If I spent decades with the love of my life, them becoming a literal part of myself, and I knew they’d be passing away in the very near future, then I absolutely want to go out together instead of living the rest of my short life without them.

      Isn’t this just phrasing it differently? “Until you’re old” doesn’t imply anything different than “as you grow old” to me.

        As an old person with my same old spouse, I’m glad it didn’t have to end as soon as we got here. We’re going to continue growing older and older together, because as much as getting old sucks, it would be worse all alone.

          Maybe it would be correct to think of it like “I was awake until dawn”, where you aren’t necessarily asleep after dawn, if you stay up you were up until dawn, and after dawn as well. edit: I’m done fighting the idiot who is Pyre. He’s an idiot who can’t read basic English.
