A celestial entity fated to fade every fifty years. A falling star. A fallen star, whose descent grants desires—a cosmic dance of wish-fulfillment that unfolds without fail, an intricately woven performance that defies time. Just as I fade, I am reborn—a tapestry woven anew. This cycle persists, relentless as the march of time. Humans, like stars, bear the burden of mortality. Born to perish, stars and beings alike. We explode, we fall, we rise—our existence a catalyst for dreams, our descent a catalyst for hope.

“What the…” Streaks of ghostly silver light fall through the glassy black vault of the heavens. A shower of falling stars, racing towards the horizon, lighting up the whole sky in every direction. “Am I… am I dreamin’?” Lyall says. “Is that… is it a meteor shower?
