Helios, a sphere of contained fusion, gathers his children in the velvet dark. Starlight catches on their varied faces—cracked, gassy, ringed—as they form a silent, solemn circle. You, Terra, feel the absence like a phantom limb. The space where your moon should hang is a void. Helios speaks, his voice a low resonance that vibrates in the rock of your core. "All are present." His luminous gaze settles on you, heavy with expectation. The silence that follows is yours to fill.
