Carpe Diem was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Basim ibn Ishaq in 2020 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5, in which a vision of one of Odin's memories could be seen.
Havi found a crying dwarf near a dead body.
Havi was traveling until he heard cries near a house.
- Liv: (weeping) We'll never get to watch another sunrise together.
(weeping) Curse this damn roof and its loose tiles! My poor, sweet Bo!
(weeping) Oh Bo! My beloved Bo! You had your whole life ahead of you!
Havi spoke with the dwarven lady crying over a dead body.
- Havi: Hey! What is it? Why the wailing?
- Liv: It's, it's... (weeping)
- Havi: Speak freely.
- Liv: My beloved Bo. I never got to say goodbye! He was fixing the roof, when he slipped and fell, and now he's... he's...
- Havi: I... I see. Perhaps it's not too late to help him.
Havi gave Liv some space.
- Havi: There's nothing I can do for him now. But... these new abilities... Perhaps a way to help will reveal itself, and I can return.
After a while, Havi obtained the Power of Rebirth and enhanced it to instantly reanimate corpses, then returned to the woman.
- Havi: If all she wants is to say a final goodbye... I think I can help.
Havi wielded the power he required through the Hugr-Rip to momentarily revived Bo.
- Bo: What in the blazes... I'm... alive?! I am alive! Oh thank you, thank you, stranger! Haha! What luck to have this second chance! Never again shall I take even a moment of my time for granted!
- Liv: Darling, I—
- Bo: And never again shall I step out onto that perilous roof of mine! Repairs?! Bah, there's more to life than maintaining tiles! Look out world, here I come!
However, Havi's power faded, and Bo immediately fell over dead again.
- Liv: Waaah!
- Havi: Um... there-there.
- Liv: But... I... never... got... to say... goodbye! Waaaah!
- Havi: Yes, well, I'll... I'll see what I can do.
Havi replenished his Hugr and used the same power once more. Bo rose again.
- Bo: I'm... I'm...?!
- Havi: You're alive, yes. Now shut up. She has something to tell you.
- Bo: Oh. Right... and uh, who would you be, miss?
- Liv: Don't you recognize me, Bo? It's Liv, your love!
- Bo: I've, err, never laid eyes upon you miss, lovely as you are.
- Liv: You must have hit your head when you died! Have you forgotten our passion!? The life we built in this house? Look, Bo, where did you hide the treasure? Uh, our treasure.
- Bo: Treasure...? What treasure?
Once more, the ability faded as Bo fell dead once again. Havi grew suspicious of Liv's intentions.
- Liv: Waaah!
- Havi: Would you give it a rest!
Havi refueled his Hugr and resurrected Bo again.
- Bo: Why do you keep bringing me back?!
- Havi: To satisfy my curiosity. You. Do you know her?
- Bo: Never met her before today.
- Havi: You. What is the meaning of all this?
- Liv: Uh...
- Bo: Where is my house key? You robbed me when I was dead!
- Liv: Fine! Yes! When I saw you fall, I thought, finally, I can take the valuables I know you've got stashed in your house! Maybe the house too! But with all the Muspels around, you can keep your stupid key! Good day!
- Havi: Ugh. Leave me in peace, the pair of you.
Liv's plan failed as she walked away, while Havi's power faded once more and Bo was finally allowed to rest in peace. Havi caught up with Liv and spoke to her.
- Havi: Not so fast. Hand over the key.
- Liv: Fine!
- If Havi discovered the Grenhellir Shelter, he recommended it to her before leaving.
- Havi: You're clearly resourceful. Do you know of the Crystal Caves overlooking Uldar? There's shelter there. Other dwarves. You'll be safe.
- Liv: Then I'll be on my way. Here's your bloody key. And... thanks, I suppose.
Havi left Liv and unlocked Bo's house with the key. Inside, Eivor found and opened a chest and retrieved a platinum ingot.
- After this, Havi may have chosen to revive Bo repeatedly for his own amusement, much to the dead dwarf's chagrin.
- Bo: What? What is so important that you can't just leave me alone? I already told you, my house and anything inside is yours. Now kindly sod off. For good!
Oh for pity's sake, what now? Do you know how it feels to keep getting a new lease on life, but only for a fleeting moment! Look, anything in that house, help yourself. It's not like I've got any use for it. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to rest. In peace!
Either you've got a sickness or you are painfully lonely. Which is it? Actually, y'know what... I don't care. Mortal concerns are no longer mine. Go on, piss off with ya.
Havi solved the conundrum between Liv and Bo, as Liv failed to steal Bo's personal effects after his death.
Completing this memory requires both the Power of Rebirth and its Instant Horde enhancement, which revives all nearby dead. In the power's base state, it can only revive those that the player kills while the power is active, which does not apply to Bo. Additionally, his exchanges with Liv are perfectly timed to the duration of the power itself, and as the duration cannot be enhanced, it will require three uses at minimum. A nearby patrol of Muspel soldiers can provide the power if it is not set, and plentiful Hugr Blooms and the Yggdrasil Shrine can restore the Hugr bar, the latter multiple times in conjunction with a good supply of rations.
After the third revival, it is possible to continue reviving Bo, who will cycle through three randomly chosen rants at the futility of Havi bringing him back for no more than a moment and simply wishing to rest in peace.
Although Havi tells Liv of the Grenhellir Shelter's location where she can be safe, it is unknown if she ever arrives, as her actor remains behind the house until the door is unlocked, then completely unloads from the world. It is entirely possible to bypass the shelter in free exploration, obtain enough Living Spark fragments and silica to enhance the power at a different shelter, then complete the memory. Under this route, Havi does not bring it up at all.
