boy i sure do seem to love trying to fit complex existential discussions into single tiny 4-panel comics.

dini: h-hey sedna, they say over 100 billion people have lived on earth in all of history. w-what are the chances anyone will remember our names after we’re gone?
sedna: you know, there are also at least 100 billion stars in the milky way. some are bright and close and everyone knows their names, but most of them are too faint and far away to see.
sedna: and yet, the gravity of every star affects every other star. whether it’s sirius, polaris, or some tiny star a hundred thousand light-years away, they’re all a part of the milky way, and they all hold it together.
dini: wow.
dini: s-so you’re saying we’re still special even if we end up like that tiny unknown star?
sedna: no, i mean i plan on being the sun.

How so, little Sedna? By great scientific breakthrough or world-wide dictatorship?
¿Por que no los dos?
Sedna’s style is definitely to become a galactic dictator just so that she can go anywhere in space she wants. This will certainly require great scientific discovery.
