[Capa's sitting on the railing, with the camera facing out, towards the abyss. It's a very precarious little perch, but he's happily oblivious to the danger. Being out on the railing means that he'd be closer to the stars. And that is the most important thing.]

A star is not just a star. To most, they're just little pinpoints of light in the sky.

[ourlastbesthope]

Not that I've observed. We can assume, or hope to assume, that whatever keeps the Barge safe from everything else out there might protect us from a star.

They're like...a lifeform. So many varied kinds. Born and then...dying.

Even their deaths are breathtaking.
