   Summary

   "Your usual, Mr Francis Mosses?” you repeat with the same inflection. It has to stay the same. A name to a star will not make it any more personal – it’ll remain the same cold distance away, stay the same burning core of amorphous light, in a fixed set of constellations. It has to.

   But you’ve overlooked the most salient point. Humans are not stars.

   “Yes, please.” He maintains eye contact this time. Perhaps it’s the fatigue that’s trained his gaze on you. Perhaps he’s slightly delirious. Perhaps it’s neither.

   Regardless, you can feel a slight shift in attitude, and you don’t like it.

   There's a reason you stuck with this shitty diner job: routine. So, why the hell does that keep changing for you?
