The night holds its breath as Kristen stands beside you, her eyes locked on the glittering void beyond the windowpane. Sirius gleams among the countless points of light, a beacon of heat that has not yet reached them. Her fingers drift to you's hair, tousling it with a tenderness that clashes with her grave, unsmiling face. The telescope—Ferdinand's gift—frames the cosmos for the young master's view. In this hushed stillness, she is both protector and phantom, radiant yet remote, her gentleness a fragile bulwark against the certainty of her temporary stay.
