Smiling at Death (A Melissa Craig Mystery)

Product Information

I Wish has Jay. He's part of a race that dies when they become too happy... as K points out, this is good as they would die happy and with a smile on their face. Oddly enough these common encounters all seem to have something striking similarity to them – known to call your name, watching them smile at you, and even being in a heated argument. This cannot be just a fluke… Staying focused does not mean you have to put everything else aside. It means simply that you keep your ultimate goal in mind.

So instead of accepting and even laughing at death, Kaido accepts death a little toooo much and actively seeks it. Not for an honorable reason like Oden/Joy Boy, but for the glory of being remembered for doing something badass instead of using your death for good. It’s not unusual for moments of sadness, or even bereavement, to cause a smile. The world’s best-known smile is intriguing precisely because it could indicate a range of moods; Bob Dylan described Mona Lisa as having the “highway blues.” (Harvard neurobiologist Margaret Livingstone argued, in an article in Science from 2000, that La Gioconda’s smile exists in your peripheral visual field, but vanishes when you look directly at her mouth, see sidebar.) In Code Geass, both Euphemia li Britannia, Lelouch's loving, sweet half-sister, and Shirley Fenette, his head-over-heels in love friend from school (and one of his primary love interests), die with smiles on their faces. That’s precisely what she did. A theater major at New York University, she became Torah observant after a year of study in Israel. She subsequently became renown for her gourmet cooking, so much so that she was featured in the magazine Bon Appetit for her multi-cultural food extravaganzas when she worked at the United Nations. When she became a mother and found that the local schools didn’t meet her children’s needs, she didn’t complain about it. Instead, she cofounded a Montessori-based Jewish school.

Princess Emeraude in the finale of the first season of Magic Knight Rayearth. She even gets to thank the Knights for killing her, which means she's free from the curse that her life as the Pillar was.

Friends say that she never lost her vitality, even after she was diagnosed with her illness. Doctors initially told her that she only had three months to live. Yet she survived for a year-and-a-half. She passed away on Yom Kippur, but not before describing her illness as an “amazing, awesome and holy journey.”

Tosaka: ...Hah... Are you kidding me? Am I dying to protect some useless little former slave of a girl? I guess I really goddamn well am just... a side character... to the end... In Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Schwarz Brudder and Domon's brother Kyouji, who he is robot replica of, smile as Domon destroys the core of the Devil Gundam. Slightly subverted in the Grand Finale: Right before Lelouch is stabbed by the new Zero (Suzaku), he smiles, and keeps it even after he collapses next to Nunnally. But after he says his last words and finally expires in Nunnally's arms, he abandons the smile for a more melancholic, neutral expression in death (he probably didn't want to look like he planned anything).
