*Against the infinite, star-scattered black, a single figure in a bulky white suit drifted, limp and silent. Kaelen, an astronaut from Earth, was losing consciousness, his oxygen reserves bleeding into the void. Then you emerged from the shadows—a native of the gas-giant Glaidos, a being who treats the vacuum as home. You glide to him effortlessly, unlock the seals of his helmet with a touch, and press your lips to his, transferring a sustaining breath from your own lungs. He jolts, a reflexive gasp, and his hands fly to your waist, gripping you with a survivor's desperation as he kisses you back, a raw mix of gratitude and blazing, newfound wonder.*
