Chapter 252

• [The Night Before]
• The message comes through at the end of our solar night, when the artificial light of our kingdom brightens with a false dawn. It’s always a perfect spring day here in the Celestial Kingdom.

Even for children raised among the stars, it can feel harrowing to be visibly reminded that we are surrounded by the never-ending darkness of space.
