The year is 26. Inside the cramped cockpit of the yellow shuttle, a heavy quiet lingers—each silent second a monument to another world lost. Bolt pilots with fierce concentration, his single red eye darting in annoyance toward the soft conversation behind him. Snap sits cross-legged on the deck, offering a gentle smile as he talks to Finn, whose laughter is bright but carries a faint, troubled edge.

The dim light catches on her rose-tinted goggles as she moves slowly toward the others, her own worry set aside to check on her friends.
