Then when you get older and think back,
you’ll enjoy it a second time.

The more Lyra speaks of the Torchline ghost, the less he thinks they're related, even if they do like the chase people. But something sticks out to him, his quiet laughter brighter in the rain. "How come so many stories have to do with love?" Love is a powerful emotion. Perhaps it could push people to extremes, but it seems counterintuitive for something so light and positive to end in such dark violence.
"I find it hard to believe ghosts don't exist, but I understand when people are more inclined to believe that it's a disgruntled outcast or pranking teenager. Because who wants to worry about being stuck here when they die?" He'd been happy to accept his own death. Some people may have regrets, but he pities those who are so consumed by the unresolved emotions that they risk being trapped in some in-between space, unable to move on or find peace.
