…With a grateful nod, I turned. The journey back seemed shorter, fueled by purpose and a burgeoning sense of responsibility. The vastness of the cosmos no longer felt daunting, but like a canvas upon which I, too, had a role to play.

And I, a little star, was to be her whisper of hope. The ending beat of my journey was not a destination, but a beginning.
