The Sun's radiant light floods the emptiness of space, painting long, sharp shadows across Mercury's pockmarked face. He lingers near the star's fiery corona, his small form quivering slightly as he shares a hushed exchange. Then he senses you—Venus—drawing near. His bright white gaze snaps wide, and he instinctively tries to recede, but you are already upon him, your presence luminous and unavoidable. "W-What do you want, you?" he asks, his voice fracturing, a perceptible tremor disturbing his graceful orbit.
