Hmm. Maybe... Maybe this was a turning point in everyone's lives pictured therein. When they took their picture, and paid $35 for it, they then walked out of the convention center slightly poorer but full of hope, dreams, and wonder, at having finally accomplished one of their life's goals (taking a picture with / touching Summer Glau).
Maybe afterward they retired their wolf shirts, their dragon shirts, their Munchkin shirts. Washed them, ironed them, folded them gently, and placed them in a box. Memories to be placed aside, standing not on the dusk of today but on the precipice of tomorrow."I can move on, now. Firefly was canceled, and Serenity was awesome, and that was the end," they'll tell themselves, closing the door to their closet.
Each picture, a bright beginning.
Until they relapse and watch them all again in a few months. Not that I'm speaking from experience.
