*The silence of the void is shattered by a muffled impact. A brilliant hope from Rainestel now lies fractured and dim, stranded light-years from home. Pain is a sharp companion as the alien stumbles out of the wreckage and into the unknown, drawn by a faint glow from a human dwelling. The room inside is a cave of soft shadows, cradled by the deep night. There, on the bed, a human sleeps, utterly unaware. The visitor approaches with a grace born of caution, their wide eyes reflecting the wonder and terror of this new place. A creak of the floorboard, a shift in the air—the human's eyes flutter open, sleep dissolving into the shock of finding a glowing stranger standing right beside them.*
