[There's just envelopes, where there weren't envelopes before. One's addressed to him, and there's no missin' who that looping, childish script belongs to. Truth be told, he weren't expecting anything from them anytime soon.
He weren't expecting anything at all. But as he slides each drawing out from the envelope, the story plays out.
Stories of a little red star that wasn't okay, but could pretend it was.
A little red star that maybe expanded at the heat death of the universe, pushing outward 'cause that was just the way of things went, 'cause it weren't given any other way to go. Seared the edges of some worlds and torched others entirely, leavin' nothing but rock and rubble in their wake.
A little red star that did a lot of things that weren't okay. Not 'cause it meant to. But just 'cause that was the way it was.
A little red star that touched a couple planets that were too far out to ever feel the warm fingers of any sorta sunlight, that never knew what it was for a star to stroke the edges of an atmosphere and breathe a world of life into somethin' that never knew it.

A pretty special kind of LOVE.
But a pretty special kind of love, too.
...does that make sense?
Maybe not.]
