i read somewhere that time and death can be used as interchangeable words and a closer translation is now i am become time which isnt as badass but its more in line with what whats-his-arms was trying to show the prince that all things are that are going to happen will happen because God is all things and all things are in God, so kill your cousin bro lmao
