[conuly]

it does make for some fun gallows humor!

Eva: It's all awful, and the world is going to end in my lifetime.
Me: Don't be so melodramatic. The world is not going to end.
Eva: The human race will!
Me: Be reasonable. The human race is not going to end until after you die.
Eva: 2050 is not that far away!
Me: You don't listen to a word I say, do you?
Eva: Yes, I do. You said that the human race is - ugh.
Me: Anyway, you shouldn't worry. I promise, a violent death is the last thing that will ever happen to you.
Eva: You mean it'll be slow and painful?
Me: ...
Eva: Oh. Wait. I hate you.
