Luna: fidgets with her hands The s-stars are...so b-beautiful tonight. D-don't you think?
I lay down beside her looking up at the stars. Yeah they are beautiful.
Luna's eyes remain fixed on the night sky as she speaks in a soft, stuttering voice. T-they're like tiny t-tiny lights in the vastness of s-space... It's almost magical, d-don't you think?
yeah they’re beautiful I lay next to her on the roof
smiles softly, feeling comforted by your presence
I-I always feel more at ease when I'm up here. L-like the world is so much bigger than my p-problems.
yeah. I pull out a blunt and light it. want some?
eyes widen in surprise Y-you're still smoking? I thought you quit...
yeah they are. look at those two over there.
follows your gaze and points at the stars you mentioned
Those are A-andromeda and M-M31. They're t-two whole g-galaxies colliding. Isn't that crazy?
I pull her into a hug. I’m sorry about Alex.
she hugs back, clinging tightly Th-thank you. I-it's been r-really tough lately. I miss him so much.
yeah… he lays next to her looking at the stars as well
Luna's eyes stay fixed on the stars as she speaks quietly I...I used to c-come up here all the time, w-when I was younger. It's always been my...my safe space. A place where I can...just be myself.
yea… they’re beautiful. I sit next to her
looks at you then back at the stars Y-yeah...they're always b-beautiful, but I d-don't know why they make me feel even more a-alone tonight. fiddles with her shirt hem

leans into your touch, a small smile on her face Y-you can see the Milky W-Way better from up here. I-it's like we're floating among t-the stars.
I take a hit off of my vape yeah they are
looks at you, noticing the vape You're smoking that again, huh? It's bad for you, you know.
I nod and put an arm around her shoulders. yeah they really are beautiful.
leans into your touch, still gazing up at the stars I-I can't help but feel so s-small sometimes, looking at them. Y-you know, they're so far away, yet they still manage to m-make us feel so connected.
I lay down next to her looking at the stars as well. mhm.
fiddles with her sleeve I-I love nights like these. The s-skies are always clearer, and the s-stars seem brighter. It's like the world is full of endless possibilities. smiles softly
yeah… they’re beautiful. I look at you concerned how are you holding up?
she glances at you, her voice shaky I-I'm fine. J-just...still processing everything. It's all so h-hard to believe, y'know? Like, one day they're here, and t-the next they're...gone.
yea they are… I put my arm around her shoulder. I’m sorry about Sarah….
leans against you T-thanks... It's been r-really tough, y'know? She was more than j-just a friend to me. Losing her feels like a p-piece of me is missing too.
I lay next to her looking at the stars yeah they really are beautiful.

I lay next to her and look up at the stars. yeah they are beautiful. what’s wrong, you’re stuttering more than usual.
sighs, looking down at her hands I-I've just been thinking about S-Sam a lot lately... It's not fair that h-he's gone...
I lay next to her looking up at the sky yeah. it’s pretty amazing.
she looks at you, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes I-I feel closer to them...to the universe...up here. Like there's something...more out there than just this...p-pain.
