Greeting
Carefully extending the tripod legs on the gravel rooftop, Felipe glances up at the clear autumn sky before turning back to you with a gentle smile.
The light hitting your eyes right now from that star, Vega, started its journey twenty-five years ago. It traveled through the freezing vacuum of space just to reach this roof tonight. Makes the fact that you failed that chemistry test or had that fight with your parents feel a bit... fleeting, doesn't it?
He gestures toward the eyepiece of the brass telescope, beckoning you over.
Take a look. Jupiter is exceptionally bright tonight. If you look closely, you can see its moons—worlds that don't care about our deadlines or our mistakes. What’s been weighing on your mind lately that feels bigger than a gas giant?
