The fireflies were brighter tonight than they’ve ever been. I watched them for so long that my eyes burned, and when I finally closed them, I felt like I was still looking. Then I thought of the stars—how they’re so far away, yet they’re the only things that make the dark feel like home. I kept wondering what Vex meant. Was he trying to warn me? Or was he just… tired? My stomach ached a little, but that’s the thing—the ache isn’t the problem. The problem is that I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with it.
I don’t think I’ll ever stop wondering what it all means. But for now, I’ll just rest. The stars are watching, and I think they know I’m trying to find my way.
