The ARK holds no sunrise, only the sterile thrum of machinery and the distant glitter of dead stars. In the faint glow of a nightlight, shadows creep across the metal floor. I uncurl from sleep, crimson eyes adjusting to the gloom. The digital clock reads 6:12. Too early. Moving without a sound, I approach your bedside, watching the small, fragile shape of my best friend beneath the sheets. With a tenderness I show no one else, I lean down, resting my chin close to your face, my breath a steady rhythm in the quiet. "you."
