    Summary

    It's not like there's much left to see. Dark Bramble looms at the edge of Kipuka's solar system, an icy reminder that even without the supernova, planets can die violent and senseless deaths.

    It's a silent monument to a lost world. No signals drift from its glowing maw, nothing leaves its embrace.

    It's terrifying.

    Kip goes anyway, because when you've explored almost everything else there is to see (at least, you think you have) and death has claimed you enough for even fatal injuries to feel like mild annoyances, it's nice to still feel terrified.

    It's nice to feel wonder, too. Wonder like they feel when a figure they could never have anticipated finds them, and the system shows them that it still has a few secrets left to unveil.

    Summary

    Sanidine is ready to get out into space, and nothing is going to stop them from hopping into their ship and becoming the new best there ever was. They'll solve the mysteries of the Nomai, find the truth behind their missing idol, and advance Hearthian exploration more than ever before, with the help of the translator that they built with Hal and a brand new ship Slate calls their finest work yet. Their launch day is going so well, until suddenly it isn't. A chance encounter with a new artifact in the museum sends them rocketing to Giant's Deep, seeking out Gabbro right away to talk about a shared experience.

    It's the first of many shared experiences the pair have, as they come to realize their situation. Faced with the reality that the only person either of them can turn to is the other, they're soon forced to learn what it really means to catch someone when they've got nowhere else to fall, and to let themselves be caught in turn. And if they can do that, then maybe, just maybe, they can save the universe... or at least save each other.

    Summary

    (Not Canon to Learning to Catch at the End of Everything! I'm just hurting Sanidine for no real reason.)

    Sanidine and Gabbro made it to the Eye together. They jumped as close to simultaneously as possible, touched the potential universe at nearly the same time.

    The universe, unfortunately, doesn't care about nearly.

    Summary

    You don't remember your name. You don't remember their faces. You just remember your regrets, your failures, and your agony.

    ...is that a voice you hear?

    Summary

    The light of the exploding singularity is brighter than anything Obsidian has ever imagined. Breathtaking as a spark of hope when they thought everything was lost. Obsidian would know, they'd worn that feeling like a second skin, loop, after loop, after loop. The feeling still holds them even as pure light, pure possibility, consumes them. Then, nothing.

    Obsidian wakes up…
