Indeed, the Nexus-6 had a short lifespan, but they were a definitely fighters until the end.

"Like all replicants, they had a limited lifespan, the Nexus-6 being genetically designed to have a very short lifespan of just a few years."

"Nexus 5's and 4's would normally just give up when cornered, but 6's never stop fighting to stay alive"

"A lot of record companies look at the numbers and they'll be like, 'Your first record sold 5 million and your second record sold only 800,000. What happened? You guys fell off, I think the band all feels that the record did really well. Most musicians I grew up playing music with would probably shoot me if I ever complained about selling 800,000 records."
