I did an all-in bet to you. Everything I had, I have, and I will have. With the gambler's instinct, and a little prayer slipped, there it all goes--my past, my present, and my future--betted to you.

Those are heavy words, aren't they? I said I gave you my "everything" like I'm passing my baton to you. It's like you carry my whole being, and in case you were wondering, you can't reject it. It's a one-time bet, there's absolutely no way to undo the bet. That, I can assure you. Why? So you can't neglect what I hope in return from you. Haha.

Sure, you never asked for it; neither did I imagine I'd give you all of that, but that's how being alive works. Full of surprises.

Hm? You asked, if I am capable of possessing "everything", why didn't I use it for myself? Oh.. I don't know. Like I said in the beginning, I used my gambler's instinct. It told me to entrust it to you.

What I need you to do, it's simple. Continue running.

See, I'm not a God, per say. Nope. Not at all. Just someone lucky; lucky to be appointed to put all my bet to you! Just like you, being lucky to have piqued my interest to bet on you, out of the other who-knows-how-many billion other creatures out there in the universe.

..What? You still don't want it? Believe me, you'll come to reminisce this time one day and be glad. You must be glad anyways. I'd be mad and sad if you don't.

I'm passing my baton to you. That's final. Now run. Run to the finish line, like what I hoped for. Don't go and dissapoint me now, my race horse. Enjoy the excitement in it, that's what you'll get in return---experience.

Now if you'll excuse me, he has been waiting for me quite a while. I shouldn't make him wait any longer. Take care.
