There are thousands of worlds, thousands of dimensional planes, billions. Life is endless. It goes on forever.

Once in a while, you will see someone really drippy. The person has to stare at the teacher all the time with that devoted and disgusting and sick look. It's boring, misplaced devotionalism.
