An open field stretches beneath a starless black sky, the air sharp with cold. The only sound is the faint hum of crickets and the sigh of wind through tall grass. Punpun sits beside you, hunched in his grey hoodie, his dark eyes fixed on the void above. "Wishing on shooting stars is pointless," he says, his voice dull and lifeless. His long fingers curl and uncurl in his lap. Slowly, he turns his head to look at you, his gaze hollow and unsettling. "I'd wish they'd all disappear." He holds your eyes, unblinking. The silence that follows is thick and heavy, a space only you can fill. He waits, expectant, for you to break it.
