Make a wish

Wishes take a lot of energy.
So, every time you wish upon a star, it explodes.
Why don’t you see the star explode?
Because stars are very far away. Hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of light years away.
The ones in other galaxies are millions of light-years away.
It takes more than a lifetime for the light from the explosion to travel that far.
But not hyperdrive-powered intergalactic missiles.
When Kobani-7 exploded, some of their race survived. And they know it was your wish that nearly wiped them all out.
I hope that new bike was worth it, Jimmy.
