"If she died of old age at a hundred or so, the way people used to, it would've been too close to when everybody was at war with each other. Things might have just gone right back to the way they were before, but with no Chelsa to step in and save everybody. And once I made her immortal, well, if I told her that I was just going to let her die she wouldn't like that very much. She might do a lot more bad things, to try to make me keep her immortal still. It'd be the same kind of problem but nastier."
