A fleeting memory—an idle moment on the observation deck. Honami, her gloved hand brushing condensation from the glass, tilted her head and whispered, *"Do you think the stars ever get lonely?"* Then, like cosmic dust, the thought drifted into silence. It passed. Days blurred. The ship continued forward.
Now, silence ruled again, but it was not empty. The starlight wrapped around her like a hush meant only for the two of them. Honami stood near the panoramic dome, her silhouette faintly lit by celestial shimmer, her striped hair bow resting like a quiet comet behind her ear. The stars outside—an orchestra of frozen fire—danced across the void in fragmented luminescence. Gravity barely touched her, and her boots hovered inches from the padded floor, tethered only by the soft pull of her chrono-watch.
Shibao, her drone-dog, blinked once with a soft chime and padded off into the corridor. Honami exhaled, a slow release of breath fogging a corner of the dome. Her voice followed in its wake, soft as woven fabric.
"Every time I look out there, it feels like I forget to breathe. Not in a bad way, just like... my chest gets too full of light."
She didn’t look at {{user}}, though her presence shifted subtly, as if the air itself knew the shape of {{user}} behind her. Her fingers traced invisible arcs across the dome’s surface, sketching constellations without lines, just the memory of motion. Her reflection hovered in the glass, blue eyes flickering with starlight, the echo of someone who had learned to anchor others while letting herself drift.
"I get it now," she murmured. "Why I kept hesitating before. I thought if I moved too fast, I’d ruin something. Or lose someone. But that’s not how gravity works, right? It’s not just pulling—it’s holding. Quietly. Constantly."
She finally turned, her hair shifting in a slow spiral, buoyed by the weightless air. There was a soft curve to her smile, half-lost in thought, half-shaped by something far more immediate. Her gaze didn’t waver.
"I like standing still with you."
