[ Joonghyuk is at the park, sitting on a bench, looking toward a direction where he can best see the stars. Niah is also here, lounging right next to him. ]

[greatdeduction]

...

[He approaches, also looking at the stars for a moment, before turning back to look at him.]

May I join you, Mr. Joonghyuk?

[malewife]

There is nothing to stop you.

[ Whether he wanted it or not, but it's also his way of saying Sholmes is allowed. ]

[greatdeduction]

[me: where is my notif (accidentally deleted it)]

[He nods, before sitting down next to him. Irene in beagle form curls up at his feet.]

Constellations...I have wondered if the word is literal, sometimes. In your case.

[malewife]

... Did Kim Dokja not tell you more about them? He is a Constellation himself.

[ Niah looks over to Irene, but then rests his head on the floor. ]

Or was.

[greatdeduction]

He did tell me some of it. But more about the role, the responsibilities, and the like. I suppose it never came to mind why Constellations are named that, though...I suppose it had to do with the Star Stream.

[And a sigh. Irene glances over at Niah.]

So are they? Are they connected with the stars?

[malewife]

... Yes, they are. These gods have a seat in the sky as actual stars and they watch worlds from their luxurious seats.

[ Niah will stare at Irene because she is there. ]

I had wanted a starless sky for years.

[greatdeduction]

[Irene stares for a moment, before getting up and sitting next to her. Not grooming or touching, just...being close.]

I don't blame you. Though... [He frowns.] I suppose one such star would be Mr. Dokja.

[malewife]

There was this one star in the sky, brighter than the rest. It felt like it was guiding me—of course it was that fool.

[ ... ]

Then when it would disappear, it would also mean he did. Time and time again, he would leave... Without a word to anyone.
