A Once Crowded Sky の小説・ストーリー

"It's heaven" "Yeah. It's indeed heaven," I whisper, watching her lovingly. She frowns and gazes at me. "Not me. Stop glueing your eyes on me all the damn time. Look there," she points at the sky. Though I am in no mood to watch anything except her, I look up. The sky is brightened with sky lanterns— a major part of the sky over this area with a thousand of them. I smile. "I knew the sky would look like this tonight. You liked it?"

Even though the building wasn't the tallest one around, the view was still amazing. I could actually see the sky which was an impressive sight in such a crowded city. When I first moved here I wondered how people didn't feel suffocated living in the middle of such high buildings. They were so busy that they couldn't even afford a little second to crane their necks and look up to the blue sky.

Blaze and Astrid found themselves on the grand balcony, overlooking the vast expanse of New York City as it sprawled beneath them like a luminous tapestry. The cityscape glittered in an array of lights, resembling a celestial display crafted by human hands. Skyscrapers stretched towards the heavens, their architectural brilliance illuminated by a myriad of colors that painted the skyline. As they stood there, the gentle breeze waltzed through, tousling their hair.

"Did you hear it too? That whisper? It felt like a warning." Eryx frowned, "I did. It's as if we've only addressed a symptom of a larger issue." Dupree, overhearing our conversation, joined in, "I felt it too. The balance may have been restored, but something still feels amiss." Lysandra, her eyes scanning the horizon, remarked, "The skies. Look at them. They're not the same." We all looked up to see the once-blue skies now streaked with hues of crimson and gold, and an unfamiliar celestial body slowly emerging. It was an ominous sight, and the city's inhabitants began to take notice, their celebrations turning into murmurs of concern.

But this ain't just any ol' sky—this is like the most epic, jaw-dropping, out-of-this-world sky you've ever seen. The colors? Bruh, they're straight-up celestial—indigo, violet, and turquoise swirlin' and dancin' across the canvas like they're throwing' a rave up in space. And the stars? They're twinklin' like they have a secret to tell; each constellation has' its own story against the backdrop of the cosmos.

The stars are faint overhead, shielded by a layer of thin mist that moves across the sky like wisps of smoke. The moon, however, is full and painted a pale blue. It’s stunning, and even through the haze of poison still in my system, I can feel its pull.

I watched it for a moment before turning back to him, smiling as I pointed toward the sky. "I guess I just want to enjoy the night sky tonight. It's beautiful, isn't it?" Even though it was just an excuse, I wasn’t lying—the sky above us truly was breathtaking. The night was clear, free of clouds, and dotted with countless stars. They were scattered across the sky, twinkling like glitter accidentally spilled onto a dark sheet of paper. Maybe it was because this house was in a quiet, uncrowded area, but for the first time, I could see such a view from the front yard without having to go elsewhere.

Something loyal. Something patient. Something waiting. The sky hadn’t just fallen. It had been pulled down deliberately. And we were standing at the center of its collapse.

The sky looked normal again. Blue. Calm. Almost peaceful. But Maria could still see it. A thin silver crack stretching across the air like a scratch on glass. No one else seemed to notice. People were cheering in the streets below. Crying. Hugging each other. The towers were silent. The strange stars were gone. But the crack remained.
