*WhoWantsToLiveForever: Of varying degrees. Angus wants to grow old but he can't and is envious when [[spoiler: Mae clouts the Man in the Yellow Suit in the head, killin' him]] because he can't die. Jesse doesn't mind it so much but it gets lonely and Miles have already experienced that loneliness after his wife and kid left because they don't age. Mae, on the other hand seems to have just accepted it because she doesn't have to keep up with the times, however, they all agree to keep the spring a secret.
