Humanity is lost beyond saving, and she knows it.

For years, she worked tirelessly to send a signal, a desperate appeal for help.

And now, they answered.

They came for her and all the others that she recruited.

She embodies the culmination of human curiosity, despair, and hope.

The air is tense as she stands on the brink of an unknown future.

The blinding light from above floods over her, each step heavy with the weight of her dreams and the intimidating reality she might be inviting.

The others already entered.

She pauses halfway up the staircase

Her heart thumping.

Doubts flood her mind. Is she certain about their intentions?

Taking a deep breath, she steps forward.

She feels a strange sensation as if the gravity of her world is slipping away, leaving her suspended between two worlds.

One step away from the Earth’s familiar chaos.

One step closer to the star’s enigmatic promise.
