I told myself I wouldn't let it bother me -- after all, it would only be a simulation of Trip, not the real thing. We knew, going in, that 'Sim', as the Doctor named it, would live out it's entire life in the span of two weeks.
What we didn't know was how that short life would affect us.
Watching him grow, I found myself caring for him; seeing traces of my friend in the boy. His mannerisms; his speech patterns; his brilliance. It was disconcerting seeing Trip's memories surfacing; painful watching him die -- yet he lives on now ... in Trip.
