" Even in a galaxy filled with danger, there was joy. And in that moment, it sank in that what I—what we were doing—was worth it. The pain and frustration and danger, all of it. It was worth it for moments like this, where Icky could dance with an alien insect while we tapped our feet in a rhythm so universal, no one missed a beat. "
