Titan’s Anxiety

"You're not alone."

"I know, I know, Halley. The grand cosmos is full of unimaginable wonders. "

"Your sarcasm is really coming along, but I meant, I'm here."

"You're not here, here."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You have your own path. You're here for a while, and then you're gone again, and I'm alone again."

"I always come back."

"Yes, but for how long?"

"Well...we're part of the same galaxy, so I imagine I'll be around for a while. Besides, it's not just me that's here. What are there, like 83 of you? Where is this coming from?"

"I just feel like it's all pointless. Just spinning around this god-forsaken gas ball. There isn't even life here. And like you said, there are 83 of us. Why do I even need to be here?"

"I mean, most planets don't have life. Doesn't make being a moon any less meaningful."

"I don't know...I have water. Just seems I ought to be doing more...more than just spinning."

"We're all spinning on different routes."

"I suppose so."

"You're doing great."

"Thanks."
