In death, my brother was unable to complete what he had set out to do, yet he surrendered himself to it. He likely has subordinates who will continue on in his absence, but he will not see the results should they succeed. As for those who defeated him, now that Van's gone, those people will never receive the answers they wanted from him. Either they will have to search for those answers elsewhere, or they will never find them. And me? It doesn't seem like he's really dead, like he could even die.
So then... in your opinion "there's nothing to do but to keep on living". You make it sound like a chore... And now you're saying that death lacks closure. The more you keep talking like that, the more it seems like you think both are overrated.
