Every so often, the universe ends outside the observation window at Milliways Bar. It's a normal cycle that most of the patrons get used to eventually, and even come to admire.
What happens at this moment, however, is not normal by anyone's standards.
The destruction, impossibly, pauses and flares suddenly and spectacularly, into the blinding white fire found within a star's heart. Reality itself seems to hold its breath, for a long eternally timeless moment--
--and then something somewhere gives way, and a shuddering wave of force passes beyond the window and races out across the universe as the cycle resumes.
