The nature of a sandwich is to be consumed. Each moment a sandwich is not consumed, is a moment it falls into ruin. It's soft, doughy bread becomes hard, crusty and inflexible. Eventually it becomes soggy, the moisture of the condiments and vegetables slowly permeating into it's every being.....
It's once succulent meat will began to rot as mold festers within it, like gangrene on an amputated limb.
This sandwich is not an organism. It is a sentient curse, a Frankensteins monster stitched together from the dead and dying alike. But, can the force sustain it? I imagine such talents elude master Skywalker during that phase of his training.
I do not think Hammy will fare much better.
I feel a sadness for this soul hexed by the force with sentience, composed of slaughtered parts.
I offer it a warriors death, a way free from the pain that is promised in the upcoming days. I offer it a chance to not only fulfill it's purpose---and make no mistake, this was it's purpose, so it is blessed in a way that many of us who are lost and confused about our role in this universe are not-- but to live on as a part of something greater, and to make that greater thing even stronger still.
These glorious muscles, this immaculate wit, hammy will not only contribute to them, but my strength will become his strength. The line between hammy and Miburo will cease to be.
It will become one with me, as I will eventually become one with the dirt, and with the force.
Knowing this truth, how could hammy do anything but gladly accept the role allotted to him by fate?
I will eat fast. I will bite true. I cannot promise that there will be no pain, but that this pain will end, and that it will be less than that of rotting away.
...Or, maybe Hammy thinks I'm full of shit. I don't care. I have other components that will fulfill the same purpose as hammy.
Let him choose his painful path, if this is what he desires.
