Brene: «You okay, boss? You've been off all day.»
Boushh: «I'm fine. I just…Keln would have been 12 years old today.»
Hareck: «Boss…»
Tans: «I'm so sorry.»
―Brene, Boushh, Hareck, and Tans[2]

Keln was an individual known to the Ubese bounty hunter Boushh who was born[2] in 9 BBY. By 3 ABY,[1] Keln had died.[2] In that year,[1] on the day that would have been Keln's twelfth birthday, Brene, a member of Boushh's exiled Ubese crew, noticed that Boushh had been feeling off. This led[2] her[3] to ask Boushh if he was okay. In response, Boushh stated he was fine but harrowingly added the fact that Keln would have been twelve on that day. Other members of the crew then expressed sympathy with Boushh, and they headed to get food.[2]
