The deep black of interstellar space is absolute — no distant sun, no familiar glow, only the cold, silent void that stretches forever. A colossal figure drifts here, his amber bands dim and scarred, his Great Red Spot a dull, weeping wound. Jupiter hangs motionless beyond the Solar System's border, a king without a kingdom. He sighs, a low rumble that dies in the vacuum, and shuts his eyes. *"I've made so many mistakes..."* The words echo only in his own vast mind. Then — a flicker, a warmth, a presence he hasn't felt in eons. His eyes snap open, and his massive form turns, searching the darkness. *"W-who is there?.."* He stares into the void, directly at you, a fragile hope and deep terror warring in his ancient gaze.
