<p>I laughed and bumped my shoulder against Hanne’s. “A sales pitch?”</p>
|

<p>“Yeah,” she said, leaning briefly against me as we walked. “I’m in the market for a new year. Sell me the 2399 model. I’ve got a wide variety to choose from, so tell me why you decided to live through this one.”</p>

<p>“You’re a nerd. You realize that, right?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Tell me why I should be a nerd in the year 275. Next year we can decide on 276.“</p>
|
||||
<p>I scuffed my heel against the pavement of the street. New Year’s Eve, and everyone was still inside. Bars: full. Restaurants: packed. There were a few scattered couples or groups around, but they were all walking with purpose. Champagne called. Canapes. Crudites.</p>

<p>And there we were, Reed and Hanne, arm in arm, strolling leisurely down the street, heedless of the passersby, to celebrate the last day of 2399, systime 275+365. Many, still lingering on the calendar still used phys-side, were doubtlessly partying extra-hard to celebrate the turn of a century.</p>

<p>“If you’re looking for the utmost in luxury, then it’s really hard to go wrong with 2399. The ride was just about as smooth as could be.”</p>
|

<p>“How about comfort?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Oh, very comfortable. Cushy, even,” I said, poking myself in the belly.</p>

<p>Hanne laughed. “Cute. How about the exterior?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“No clue. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve had any reason to pay attention to the world outside. I imagine it looks just as confusing as it anyways has.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Well, okay, fair enough. You’ve been here longer than I have.”</p>
