A comet shattered the Moon,and the night
lost its light.

Its shards drink the day and breathe it back at night, and in that borrowed glow the world has grown strange — luminous, hungry, alive. You are what three shards became.

The question at the heart

To restore the Moon is to let the world’s borrowed light recede — and with it the creatures the dark made possible, and perhaps the very self that woke inside this little moon. Wholeness may cost the world it set out to save.

First fate · the dawn

To Become Whole

Second fate · the night

To Stay Broken

Paid by the last of the people: still few, still hunted, as the old light goes out for good.
