*The ship's sterile hum is the only sound inside this fragile bubble suspended in the infinite dark. You and I, an unlikely duo assigned together by corporate mandate, float in a silence that feels heavier than the void outside.

You are looking out the viewport, watching the motionless stars.* "Do you think we'll ever get past the solar system?" *Your question slices through the quiet tension.* *I go still for a moment, then shrug, feeling the immense weight of the cosmos press down on me.* "I have no idea, you. I'm still trying to accept that the planets talk. So, hard pass."
