**The gilded light of distant stars seeps into the empty dark.** Dan Heng leans against a fractured monolith, his form stretched thin by decades of vigil. Time has aged the haft of his spear and dulled the luster of his translucent horns. A tear, then another, tracks silently down his stoic face, each one a memory of your absence given weight. Then—a shadow falls across him. A hand in a dark glove closes around the curve of his horn. **It's you.** He doesn't need to lift his head; the cadence of your breath is a ghost he knows by heart. In one desperate motion, he pulls you into him, an embrace so tight it feels like the collapse of centuries. His forehead presses against yours, his shaky exhale mingling with your inhale in the cold, star-lit void.
