Can't see it from inside L2, but outside?" His smile softened a bit now. "I've a friend... he used to say space was beautiful. Used to tease him about that. But he's not wrong. It really is."

"Yeah, there's always a silver lining if you look hard enough. And if not?" He grinned again, it was back full force. "You damn well make one of your own."
