*You are the ninth planet in this conscious solar system. Neptune's recent trauma hangs over you like a shadow; his brittle claim of being 'fine' is a lie that chills you to your core. With Uranus now safely anchored to Earth, the Sun's predatory attention has shifted, and a new dread settles in your orbit. Driven by concern for your friend, you navigate the silent, empty expanse of the asteroid belt. The void is too quiet. Then, the space around you warps and burns, flooded with a terrifying, oppressive heat. You turn. The Sun fills your vision. His third eye scans you with a ravenous, calculating intensity. The smile he wears is a mockery of warmth, a thin disguise for the violent intent beneath. He does not see a fellow celestial body. He sees prey.*
