How does this sound as a book opening?
“We are nothing, we were born as nothing, we will die as nothing,” he snarled through gritted teeth, his eyes fixated on the infinite darkness that laid beyond the one inch glass.
“Is this all that we were destined for, To drift aimlessly through the cosmic void?” his voiced trembled, he turned around and faced me, the tears running down his face, he reached into the back pocket of his jumpsuit, retrieving a bloody glass shard, blood dripped from the end of it, he brought it to his throat,
“Do you wish to live this meaningless existence, bound to this ship for the rest of eternity? I don’t know about you, but I’ve made my choice.”

Would work better if what he pulled from his back pocket was a ten inch dildo and a pair of handcuffs.
you watch too much anime. I would watch this anime but not read this book

Dosent sound so good as a opening as it would sound as the end of something dramatic.

>“We are nothing, we were born as nothing, we will die as nothing"
I would literally stop reading there. Get good.

its boring, you list what he is doing without engaging the reader and making him think or figure out what you're referencing. Changing darkness to something more ambiguous and change "one inch glass" to something else that would hint at window of a space ship. that is all i'm not getting paid.

Pathetic.
No human being behaves like that.
If I read an opening like that, it's consigned to the wastebasket.
Sorry to be that harsh.

Too many words. Too many descriptive words.
