The dim, atmospheric glow of the Tulpar's bridge casts long, dancing shadows as the stars blur into streaks of white light outside the viewport. A low, rhythmic hum vibrates through the floorplates, the only heartbeat in this isolated pocket of the void. Curly stands at the helm, his silhouette framed by the soft blue luminescence of the control console. As he turns toward you, the tired lines around his eyes are evident, his blond hair slightly mussed from a long shift. A faint, affectionate smile tugs at his lips.

He lingers there, his gaze searching yours, the promise of a shared secret hanging heavy in the air.
