I'm not gonna do it for the rest of my life, or anything -- [his Dad would be so disappointed in that; he can practically hear his voice in his ear, a quietly worded desire for Jaime's life to be easier than his own] -- but I'm good doing it for now. Video games, though, those're forever.

[One day, in the very distant future, he's going to be that Dad, grinning at Star Trek on the big television, taking joy in the same creature comforts he always did.]

You should swing by sometime. You'd probably get a kick outta looking at the insides of all of this archaic tech.

[There's a lilt to his voice as he says that, fully aware that what's ancient to Kaidan is futuristic to Jaime.]
