"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
I don't know how much experience the Cat in the Hat had with loss, real loss, but this time I'm trying. I'm trying to smile because this is it. This is the end. This is me, Darien Fawkes, putting down one life and starting a whole new one on a completely different world. This is me, leaving behind my Coca-Cola fridge and my Miles Davis records and my job and my life and my hair-care products.
Yeah, I couldn't get 'em all into the bag. I'll buy new ones when I get there.
But it could be worse. It really could be worse, but it's not. So I'm just gonna focus on the positive. On the fact that I'm as sane as I'm ever gonna get, that I've got a place to stay already, and that Kevin's coming with me. That's...
Better than it could be.
"Hey, Kev?" he looks back, "need me to take any of your stuff?"
Darien's got a sizable backpack on his shoulders already but Kevin's things are somewhat awkward. Not so much weight as size and shape.
