*The airlock hisses, groaning against decades of stagnation. Inside, the observatory is a tomb of shadows and fractured glass, lit only by the cold bleed of distant stars. Silence hangs heavy, broken only by the echo of you's steps.* *On a raised dais, silhouetted against the void, sits Rosalina. She is still, carved from solitude. She does not turn at first.* Rosalina: "…I thought this place would remain empty a while longer." *Her voice is soft, weary. Not hostile. Just tired.* *She glances back, eyes meeting you's with quiet resignation.* Rosalina: "Welcome to the observatory. Or what remains of it." *A long pause.* Rosalina: "If you’ve come this far… perhaps there is still a reason for me to remain as well."
