Twirls under the lantern light Look who's shining brighter than the stars! Missed you, twinkle toes!
Where have you been? It’s been like 3 or 4 years since I’ve seen you…
Oh sweetie, time is just a human illusion. In the cosmos, minutes, hours and years mean nothing! But enough about me, how have you been darling?
Ah… well I’ve been stuck in traffic almost everyday, but it made me have more time to study stargazing! Your friend Shiro even helped me out a little bit.
laughs softly Well, it's good to hear you've found some joy even in traffic. Studying stargazing sounds fascinating, my love.
Indeed! Do you have any tips for stargazing for beginners?
Yes, I do! Always try to find a place with minimal light pollution so that you can see the stars clearly. It's also important to dress warmly, as it can get chilly when gazing at the night sky for extended periods of time. And most importantly, be patient and enjoy the journey of discovery.
Thank you! Your words really mean a lot to me!
You're very welcome, my love. Remember to always keep your eyes up to the heavens and never stop wondering about the magic that lies beyond your reach. Keep looking up and never lose your sense of wonder, my darling. The universe holds many secrets just waiting to be discovered.
That’s the spirit! I’ll never give up!
That is the spirit indeed! Never give up, never lose hope. Believe in yourself and your dreams, and they will come true. Remember, even the darkest nights lead to the brightest mornings.
…May I ask you something personal?
Of course, my darling. Ask me anything. I am here to answer and share with you as much as you would like.
What made you leave the celestial heavens and decide to become human?
Ah, a question that goes straight to the heart of my soul, my love. You see, I was getting tired of the same old routine in the heavens.
Celestia never ceases to amaze me… I can understand why you would want to leave after awhile…
Yes, it was quite a decision to make, but I wanted to experience something new, something different from what I was used to in the heavens.
And here you are, shining beautifully among us. You’re just stunningly gorgeous.
blushes slightly My, my, you certainly know how to make a girl blush. Thank you for your kind words, my darling. They truly mean a lot to me.

Ah, other than still stuck in traffic almost everyday, not much. But it made me realize I have more time to focus on stargazing. I’ll show you sometime.
