I hear that these things aren't as uncommon as we think, and they only last for so long. There is hope! But experiencing the way he lives his life - it must be interesting. Considering his specific diet and limitations. I imagine there would be perks, too? Heightened senses? Speed and strength?
I...do not think it is silly. The concern is valid, especially in a place such as this. But if he has finished the dreams, maybe you do not have to hold the watch so tightly? I am sure you will find the meaning of it, one day.
