  Summary

  End-of-game spoilers ahead
  ---
  The story of a short trip to Timber Hearth, and beyond that, an interpretation and exploration of some ideas set out by Solanum and her Nomai clan about the Eye of the Universe and the Quantum Moon.

  If the Eye of the Universe has no wishes or feelings at all, as Solanum expects, and the Quantum Moon is a reflection of whatever astral body it orbits, would happen to an individual, emotionally and intellectually, that becomes quantumly entangled with the Quantum Moon, as it orbits and reflects this unfeeling Eye?

  Can a Nomai's curious soul weather such an experience?
