You don't get it: I already made that choice. I already had eternal life, and I gave it up to be with the woman I loved more than breathing.
And when she died, I swore I would never let the gods have her people. Our people. I swore I'd never leave the human world.
Humans don't live forever. Immortality has no place in the human world, and I love you...more than I love breathing...but I met Pandora first. I made my bed, and now I have to lay in it. And I can't cheat 'cause that's what Zeus would do. Please understand, babe...you have my heart, my soul, but I gave my life to someone else. I'm sorry.
