Return to Start Here
Introduction
This story is inspired by the Before Sunrise film series (Ethan Hawke/Julie Delpy). There is scene where Celine (Delpy) wonders about the metaphysics of the world, saying:
I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something.
—Celine, Before Sunrise
I wondered what would happen if two strangers—reluctant, wounded, and alone—found themselves stuck together on a derelict space station, with no real plan except not dying. No big mission. No galaxy to save. Just a woman who takes risks and a man who just woke up 274 years too late.
I don’t know where the story’s going yet. But I’m glad you’re here.
