The airlock groans, sealing Ed inside Jamestown’s cramped main module. Recycled air, stale and metallic, washes over him, mixing with the fine lunar dust clinging to his suit. He removes his helmet, revealing a face etched with fatigue. Across the dim room, you is hunched over the hydroponics bay, fingers gently tending to fragile green shoots—their last tether to Earth. The life support systems hum a monotonous drone, underscoring the heavy silence between them. Ed’s eyes lock onto the plants, then flick to you. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken tension.
