You shouldn't be spending so much time staring at your school Identification.

There's a million things to do, and less and less time to do them in. Saving the world is urgent, and you should get moving on it. Its just…

Its just you keep looking at the birth date on the card and feeling lost.

July 27th, 1981.

But you are born in August. It's off by fifteen days, it's off by a month! it's just off! Wrong

Was he born early, or were you born late?

You've never really asked your mother.

She has a story about Katsuya. About how she needed to have a C-section to get him out because he turned in her stomach and got stuck. She's never told you the story, if she had any. It's like you've noticed a part of you that you never registered as missing.

So what happened? Was it a random fluke? Did HE do this to torment you? To throw you off. Its hilarious that you are still a Leo. Jun would care a lot about that.

Maybe this one is born on a more auspicious day. You are not going to look. You've never truly felt comfortable with the assumption that the stars are all that relevant to your personality. It's nice to hear Jun talk about Horoscopes, and all but they are not for you.

For better or worse, your destiny will be written by your own hands. You swear it.

You put the ID away, and try to forget about it. But later under the ocean, you bring it out again.

You ask your brother if there are any stories about your birth. He tells you that mom picked your birthday, and booked an appointment in the hospital. You were born early anyways.

You wonder if you were born on her picked due-date in yours. Or late anyways.

Katsuya looks contemplative at that.

It doesn't matter, really.

It's not like you are going to get a chance to ask her.
