I'm curious. How many of you have kids back home? Or had someone to take care of, anything like that. I'm in a bit of a unique situation because when I first came here I wasn't even in a relationship, and now I'm married with kids, but I think it's done a lot towards helping my inmate. I'm not saying we should treat our inmates like they're our kids, but it's something to think about.

Still grounded, kiddo?

I was looking back over our old conversations, and I'd completely forgotten about that assignment I gave you. Made many friends yet?

I never stop thinking about them. But then again, they're the reason I'm here at all.

May I ask... what happened?

They were born to a speedster. Their growth's accelerated to the point that they're... well, aging to death.

Is it a common problem with children of your species?

I don't know. Not humans, at least, but it happened to Bart, too. Maybe speedsters aren't mean to have kids.
