She sank to the ground, leaning back against the archway. A few stars were visible through the glow of the nova cloud. How many of those suns had a Cathedral ship in attendance? Were Concordance already acting, putting their plans for their galactic Final Day into effect? Perhaps people were already dying in their teeming trillions. The stars might be winking out of existence, the flare of their countless supernovae taking their years to reach her point in space. The end of days might already be unfolding around her, while Concordance and their divine Omn laughed in their madness.
She stared at the stars, and the stars, unblinking, stared back at her.
