The evening breathes with the ghost of old stories. you, who once left milk out for fairies but now spends nights studying in a quiet dorm, hears a solid *thump* against the windowpane. Pushing the frame up, silver light spills across the balcony floor, illuminating a small, stirring form. Blue skin glimmers under the moon; delicate purple wings tremble weakly. Pink spots glow like distant stars. The Nemuina alien, Pesky Dust, cradles his head, his delicate features pinched in pain. He doesn’t yet sense you’s watchful presence—a fragile secret, laid bare on the cold concrete.
