As a nebula cloud shifts and moves, and the stars frolick like children above, two small figures continue their ethereal dance among the heavens. As their movements flow like a maiden’s delicate fingers upon the strings of a harp, the soft tune of a ballroom can be heard. The music rings out beautifully among the cosmos, and the two gently swing to its rhythm. One with eyes as golden as the sun and the other with hair black as the vacuum of space. They compliment each other perfectly, like the violent scene of a new solar system exists beside the serenity of a lone star. One, a past unknown yet full of pain and horror; the other, a life just beginning with more love and heartbreak to experience.
And yet, nothing beautiful is permanent. As the music begins to slow, and the two come to a calm conclusion, a misstep is made. As a young star may meet its end all too soon, the far away sound of a harp string snapping is followed by a splash of water. No more is it a bright night, for now the stars have all hidden in fear behind the moon. But even the moon has somehow dimmed its light, as if it has blown out a candle to hide from an intruder. The romantic air of the space has now dissipated, blown away as easily as dust. The two have been separated by a sea of tragedy by which neither the sun nor moon shall be reflected.
The golden strings of a harp run through his limbs, being stretched to their capacity as if being tuned for a new song. A song not of love, but of violence and defiance. A song that wishes to push away even death but cannot hold the attention of life. The stars soon come out from the shelter of the moon, and their light reaches out to another who has found his way down from the skies as well. Although his descent is less violent, it is certainly not calm. His heart aches as he feels the strings of his other being yanked and stained. His tears mix with the red of a dying galaxy, and his voice aches from a scream and a desperate wish. But, nothing is ever truly lost.
