Bab 68: Astra

Why, Dad?

Even when the world was ending, you didn't listen to me. You were selfish, doing everything while leaving me behind. I was alive, but then what? I was alone in space. There was not a single living being in sight, only a supernova consuming all. No one knew what was coming. Only a few were lucky enough to react on time, including us. You.

I woke up in the capsule to see you not beside me. My biggest fear became reality. It was only a matter of time before you left me for your happiness. Was I not your Sunbeam? I told you many times that I didn't want you to sacrifice yourself for me. As long as we were together, everything was going to be alright.

You just left a letter for me, stuck to the wall with tape. For my Sunbeam was written on its cover.

"Hi, dear.

I know what you're thinking right now: why, Dad?

No, I'm not reading your mind. I lost that power as you grew up."
