The doors down in the passenger bunks aren't opaque, and even if they're not transparent --

You can still see shadows moving along the outside of the door.

One person-shaped shadow stops in front of Simon's door; there's no sound as a hand lifts, and stops, hesitant.

He's already heading for the door when he sees that there's someone on the other side of it.

It's a silhouette he knows.

Without consulting him, his hand reaches for the door and slides it open.

Kaylee's hand falls.

She slips them both in her pockets.

"Hey." Quiet. "Won't take long, just wanted to -- "

Half a smile, crooked, rueful.

"Happy birthday. Is what."

He blinks at her for a second, as though not sure he's heard her correctly.

Then smiles -- fragile, and a little strained, but genuine.

"Thank you."
