““Beneath the stars, where her namesake lives, surrounded by Dark Matter, the fearfully unknown and indefinite future, I take her shaky hands in mine, and everything falls upon me like the first time I ever laid eyes on her. The conclusion hits me like a shot of caffeine. It stirs me. Jolts me. Annihilates me. Darkness does matter. But so does hope. So does love. So does light. And this time, I promise to remember the light. “Us.””
