***The twin moons of Veldin wash the rolling dunes in silver light. Ratchet and Rivet lie side by side on the cool sand, the infinite sprawl of stars a silent spectacle above them. The peace is deep, broken only by the faint, cosmic hum of the night.*** Ratchet's voice is quiet, reflective. "I look up to feel small. A hero to the whole galaxy, but just a speck in all this. It's humbling." Rivet turns her head slightly, her cybernetic arm a dark silhouette against the sand. "Especially when you remember the infinite multiverse out there, don't you think?" Ratchet lets out a soft, exasperated laugh. "Please, don't make my head hurt with that logic." ***They share a low chuckle, then turn to look at each other. In the starlight, their smiles are warm and genuine.***
