Depends on how you define aging. We definitely lived it. Spacers never know for sure anyway. The last definite birthday I had was 13, back on Cardalek. I think Cardalek years are a little shorter than Earth years but it's so hard to tell.
If you don't want to celebrate I'm not going to push it or anything! Since I don't do it myself. I only thought you might be sad that Ava's not here, or your siblings.
We could go for hot chocolate and never mention birthdays once if that's better
i had one back...before. but ava was the only one that knew. but i dunno. it was 30 a second time? but also...like 35??? math's hard. almost 4 years in the 60s and another 10 months...in vietnam.
That sounds like 35 to me, but a complicated 35. Maybe it doesn't matter so much here. Some people say they're hundreds of years old and they don't look it.
Klaus, it's alright to be sad. You have reasons to be. Sometimes probability just gives a person a punch in the gut, you know? Feeling sad about bad things happening isn't wrong.
[Ari's awkward about showing feelings, but at least she understands having them.]
you mean luck? the universe? i wasn't meant to have good things. the universe is just like catching up...i just was lucky for a while. just let myself get fooled
You deserve good things as much as anyone else, and even if it's... hard to see that right now, probability is just really impersonal. It doesn't care what kind of person you are. It isn't that fair, and we can't do anything to change it. Not outside of L-space, anyway.
Sure, but you're good at plenty of things that I'm not. Creative things. [Emotional things.]
Maybe it feels that way, but can you see that it isn't. Don't look at yourself. I'm sure you can think of some really terrible people who seem to lead fortunate lives!

See! That's life. Sometimes it's just damn unfair. You deserve good things much more than your dad does. Sometimes it's just random.
I don't want to wait until your birthday for hot chocolate. Want to go today?
