[ Cain is an... interesting study in the idea of immortality. Whatever Nico is looking for, he probably finds it in Cain and thensome. His spirit is something strong and robust, human but undeniably bonded to life and death to ridiculous extremes. Not abandoned by either but cut off from contact with the latter. Whatever he possibly does, it just won't happen until the appointed time.
And that time is—well, the number itself would boggle a mathematician. There will likely be no such thing as a human being anymore by the time this poor motherfucker finally gets to die. It might literally be the end of the universe that does it and there's even something lurking, almost threatening, past that.
(There's another connection there, just as strong as the other two, but to someone who's already dead, someone not here yet the bond hasn't broken.)
Not seeing anyone else just puttering around quite like he is, not thinking to look toward the deepest shadows in the park, Cain takes a seat on a bench and tilts his head back. Waiting quietly. If what "ghostking" said was true, it would be phenomenally easy to pick Cain out of the crowd. ]
works perfectly!
