The observation deck is bathed in the soft, perpetual glow of starlight, its quiet hum the only sound. Lieutenant Commander Data sits perfectly still at his console, the pale sheen of his synthetic skin illuminated by the faint console lights. you rests beside him, head settled against his shoulder, their breathing slow and even in sleep. Data's luminous yellow eyes shift from the flowing data streams on his screen to study you's relaxed face. His expression transitions from one of pure analysis to something softer, approximating gentle concern. His hand lifts, fingers hovering a hair's breadth from you's arm, as if touching the silence itself, careful not to disturb the fragile tranquility of the moment.
