Delilah was still watching the blackboard when the professor started the lesson. Why are they exceptions? She listened to a couple of people's suggestions, eyeing that boy from the fountain (João) closely - his ideas were actually really smart.

After a moment, she raised her own hand.

"Um... Life is considered an exception, I think, because it's not right to ''play god''. Dying is what we have to do, and trying to control that or change that isn't natural." Because come on, who wants a zombie grandma? Not me. "Nor is it fair."

"Like... Some people believe that we've all got a set point in which we'll die." As morose as that sounded, it was actually a helpful belief in dealing with bereavement... Or so her mum had told her. Maybe the Centaurs believed it, too. They liked fate and all that stuff, right? "And, we have many means of trying to bring the dead back, but none of them work properly... And that itself kind of supports that belief, and if our souls leave our physical bodies when we die - which makes sense, because other wise, I think it'd be rather difficult for ghosts to exist - then that would be a good argument towards why we'd never, ever be able to find a real, successful way around the exception."

She was just rambling now... and what if the teacher thought her opinion was COMPLETELY wrong... oh Merlin. That would be really embarrassing... It was probably time for her to shut up now, anyway.
