So.

As I understand it, we don't die here. People...appear in a town with their wounds healed, or illness cured, or the like. Or so I've been told.

...What happens to someone who dies of old age, then? Would they die over and over again, or...become young, or... [He waves his hand around. Mysterious mysteries.] How it all happens aside, I can't imagine what would take place. [...] Has it, ever?

Unless something different matters to you. Like being small enough to fit through tight spaces, or hide well, or have people underestimate you because they mistake you for less capable than you are.

Maturity comes through experience; normally, that's something that by definition goes in tandem with age. Here, the possibility exists to sever the two, though, doesn't it?

...yeah! [Walter blinks deliberately, raising his eyebrows and kind of laughing like "well, you got me".] It may be so, here. That's...huh.

So it's possible that we could mature without aging.

That's something I'd be interested in seeing demonstrated.

You don't think a person with the body of a small child and the maturity and life experience of a forty-year-old would be interesting to see?

...Ah, perhaps. I've seen things like it before, though, it's not...not so interesting, just odd.
