Klaus' voice is soft and a little distant, and he keeps his eyes on his plate of food. It does make sense, what the kid says. That there's a difference between wanting to be dead and wanting to just get away from your life. To not exist. Isn't that where the drug problem started?
He laughs softly, a little helplessly, closes his eyes and rests his elbow on the table, rubs at his eyes with his fingers.
"You just wanna live like a normal person, right? To just shut them down and make them go away and...that's why we started drugs, isn't it? Trying to escape. I get it. I don't want to die either, and now that I'm sober it's..." A pause, "It's hard, dealing with corpses, but it's not as hard now as it was when I was your age."
Another pause, another laugh, "Wow, I sound like an old guy. Wow. Anyway, without dear old Papa flinging us into crypts and having Ben around all the time, it's a lot less of a pain in the ass. Not easy, but not total shit either."
