Finding comfort in it. “You like the night,” I said. “Makes sense. Darkness is familiar. Safe. Close to what you were.” The fragment pulsed. Agreement maybe. Or just an acknowledgement. “The stars are beautiful, aren't they?” Kade pointed up. “Each one is a sun. Like our sun but far away. And around those suns are worlds. Maybe with people. Maybe with life. All of it exists. All of it choosing to be something instead of nothing.” The fragment rose higher. Drifted toward the stars. Curious. Drawn to the lights in the darkness.

Half an hour later, a black Maybach pulled up outside a private hospital. Once Elena looked through the car window, her expression stiffened. "Why did you take me to a hospital, Henry?" Henry didn't bother responding. Several dozen hospital staff were waiting to greet them. Upon seeing Elena, one of them, a doctor named Eric White, came forward and said politely, "Please change into the hospital gown in preparation for the surgery, Mrs. Leone. We'll be giving you a hormone injection shortly to stimulate ovulation and prepare for the egg retrieval. You might feel a little discomfort."

Zachary still stood tall and unyielding before me. I looked him in the eye and uttered calmly, "Tell your parents to come back soon. It's time we talked about ending our engagement."

Another real thing — something humans can’t touch, can’t ruin. I know someone’s standing beside me. I noticed the second he walked over, but I don’t bother looking. He smells nice, clean, warm — but the moon has all my attention. The stars, too. Maybe it’s the freedom of it all that keeps me staring. “You know one fact about the stars?” I ask, still watching the sky. When he doesn’t answer, I keep going, my voice quiet but steady. “Most of them might already be dead.” The words hang there between us. “Their light just hasn’t stopped reaching us yet. It’s kind of sad, isn’t it? How something can be gone and still look alive.”

The night was a tapestry of stars, scattered across the velvety sky like shimmering pearls on black silk. The wind whispered through the palace courtyard, carrying with it the cool breath of the desert that melted against the warmth of the stone walls. Inayat sat beneath the open sky, her shawl wrapped snugly around her shoulders, her gaze fixed on the stars. She had become familiar with their constancy, their quiet brilliance in the vast, uncertain night. There was a peace in the heavens that escaped her own world, one filled with turmoil, choices, and a future uncertain. The stars, though, they always remained — timeless, patient, and steady.

he said as I slowly sat down and then he sat down beside me. To my surprise Antonio told me to lay down and my head rested on his lap. I didn't know what was happening. “Now I'm going to show you the stars," Antonio whispered as if speaking directly to my soul, his voice low and steady. "Now, imagine the night sky stretching endlessly above us. Each star is a tiny fire, burning brightly, a million miles away, yet somehow, they all gather here for us. They shimmer like scattered diamonds on a velvet canvas, each one telling a story of love, hope, and endless possibilities."

With great difficulty, Zach reached out and wanted to touch my head, but he only touched air. Feeling dejected, he lowered his arm and looked at my rotten head. “I’m sorry, Starling.” [Please live. You can still turn back.] “It’s too late, silly.” Zach hugged my head and sat beside the pool of sulphuric acid. He threw the kidney he removed from Catherine into the sulphuric acid.

Each star pulsed rhythmically, casting soft light across the group as they struggled to regain their footing after the fall.

across the stars. "They're 'Inviting' us, Tommy," Avery said, her skin now glowing with a "Prismatic-Patina" that combined every color of the "150,000-word" history. "But we can't go through the 'Gate' anymore. We have to 'Become' the 'Gate.'"
