Life/death corner
Black to move. Is this black corner dead (or at least, it needs to capture that white group to live)? Everything I try seems refutable with a bit of thought for white's response.

Re: Life/death corner
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.
