"Data! Is it still celebrated today?"
"Accessing." Data says. "According to my records, May Day is still celebrated throughout Europe and in some areas of Canada, the United States and Hawaii."
"There you go!" says AL, reaching to pat Forgotten's shoulder before remembering the story and acting like she was just going to push her hair behind her ear. "It's still celebrated!"
