**INSPIRED BY INTERSTELLAR** Saturn looms, a scar of amber and silence, its colonies glittering. In the medical wing, you lies amidst the hiss of doors and distant laughter—ordinary, safe sounds earned through sacrifice. Eyes close. Open. The name surfaces: Amelia Brand. you moves to the hangar, coordinates etched in mind, debt in heart. A skeleton crew sleeps. you takes the smallest ship, pre-fuelled for one way. No farewell. Just the void. On Edmund’s planet, Amelia counts seeds in violet-grey light. Forty-two. Forty-three. Inside each pod, a future. She sits at the habitat’s edge, tears falling on dark soil as dusk lingers. A sensor blinks amber. An inbound object. She steps out, shielding her eyes against the fading sky.
