What a lousy birthday for Adam
Just think, in those short few hours after arriving home from work, he has a fight with someone outside, goes inside, has a fight with Cal, loses Aron to war, and has a stroke. What a cruddy birthday gift. And yet it is almost like Aron's puppy present to him years before: The benefits of Cal's "gift" pushed life forward and gave him his "other" son at last. So not so bad, really. Besides from the stroke part. But he'd been having headaches for a while so it was probably on its way anyway.
