Shiro huffs half a laugh and shakes his head. He knows it's a ridiculous thing to get upset over. It's just been bugging him for a few days now. "I know - it's pretty dumb. It just feels weird to know that I really could have been an astronaut. I wanted to, as a kid, but at some point I realized that I'd probably be disqualified for outstanding medical conditions, blah, blah, blah. Guess I can't really know it would have worked, anyway."

He gives Jim a smile. "Besides, I'd hate to have missed your classes. You're way too much fun to watch. And if I'd had one of these flash mob memories up there God only knows what would've happened. Though who knows! Maybe you'd have been my captain, huh?"

Oh. Oh there's a fun nickname opportunity here. Excellent.
