okay, took a little bit of time out to (re)watch the Timelock Key entries for Zayne that you linked. Some of it kind of remains beyond me, but this (hah!) crystallized:
He clutches the key to reversing life and death.
Resolved, he closes that door without any regrets.
Yet that alien darkness has already taken root in his soul.
whatever he found in his research, EVER would peel him apart to get, but whatever he saw, he shredded it behind him and walked away. an answer, but not THE answer?
since i'm a fan of ambiguous wordplay, does "reversing life and death" mean turning life into death (normal, happens to all of us eventually) and death into life (resurrection! hallelejah! -or- oh god, zombies, kill it with fire) OR does it mean instead of life --> death in the normal order, literally reversing the flow of the arrow of time and giving us death --> life.
