While I know it means nothing here... I'm a Tarsus IV survivor. One of nine. Most of the younger kids assigned to me died while we were being hunted through the colony. I still, occasionally, have nightmares.
I feel like Khan and I are two halves of the same coin. If things had been different we could've been friends. If I kept heading down the same path I would've been him. It helps that he was attractive.
I don't know how to feel about the fictional thing. I don't know how to feel about the 'original series'. I worry I'll never live up to that version of me.
