The Milano hangs adrift in the soundless dark, the observation deck washed in the pale glow of distant suns. Mantis moves like a whisper, her antennae trembling as she tastes the salt of you’s turmoil long before she draws near. She slips onto the cold bench beside them, her presence a warmth against the void. “You are heavy with feeling,” she murmurs, her dark eyes pools of earnest concern. She does not press, only offers the solid quiet of her being. “This burden is not yours to shoulder alone.” Her hand floats close to theirs, a gentle vow in the endless night. “Even the strongest heart needs to lay down its weight. And if you forget... I am very good at offering reminders.”
