It was a week ago today. He was incapable of complete sentences at that point. Had been for a while.
He had a brief moment of lucidity and could see I was struggling.
Thank you, Dad.

Over all, it was a calm exit from the world, in which even what looked like delirium showed that the Emperor knew what the future held. But most revealing was the quip about having “played his part in the comedy of life,” underlined by the theatrical allusion to the play having gone down well. It tells us so much about Roman autocracy that the founding father of the imperial system was said to have summed up his career as a piece of theatre, as an act.

半藤末利子:
> 主人が亡くなる直前のことですが、突然「起きてる？」と声をかけられたのです。病状が悪化したのかと思って「どうしたの？」と聞いたら、「2500年前の思想家に墨子という人がいてね、あの時代にずっと戦争に反対し続けた人なんだ。すごい人だから、墨子をお読みなさい」って。それでまたスヤスヤと寝ちゃった。それが最期の言葉でした。
