"It is like something out of a dream. it's like even the smallest girl could feel them."
We can only glimpse at them from our little world that turns ever so slowly.
Maybe it turns, much faster in someone else's world.
As eight lives collide because of one event, we watch as a new constellation forms in each of the eight skies.
Every view different from where they look upon the constellation, skies of longing
Aurora, longing for her sky to embrace her love, and look upon her with love, wishing for it to reach down and touch her.
Leo, who longs for peace to fulfill him and watches the world around him with kindness he does not need to long for.
Luna, who dreams of every fabric of her being to be filled with excitement and courage, to be strong when she stands in the rain.
Juliet, she sees the world and longs to fix the brokenness and the pain that surrounds the choices of those before her.
While Lyra, longs for her world to be pieced together again -longing for togetherness.
Just so she won't fall apart.
Atlas looks around, they wish for understanding, they want to know what is happening around them but they are reassured by their want to paint.
Then there's two, that long only for each other - Archer and Ophelia. They can only walk in each other's worlds and that's all they ever hoped for.
Everyone different but everyone longing.
One thing certain.
Stars.
