Summary
There’s a first time for everything. Even if the thing in question is something oddly specific, like touching the face of a man for the first time since you painfully parted ways with him nearly a decade ago. There is also such a thing as deja vu, which can be felt at times such as these; when you are holding the face of said man in a way that mirrors a bittersweet memory from your youth, one that he clearly remembers too.
A little-known fact about Alhaitham is that his nose bleeds when he's exhausted. A little-known fact about Kaveh is that in certain contexts, he thinks himself a terrible architect.

Summary
If I were to catalogue all the languages between us, it may take me longer than I live; because by the time I have listed those that we already have, we may have developed even more, and so on and so forth, until the very act of finding new ways to tell each other the same thing over and over again might have transformed into a language of its own. Lexemes outlast bodies, and our language will outlast us, ever-evolving. A language of eternity, if you will.
The events of Alhaitham's birthday, as recounted by Alhaitham.
