The luminescent glow of the uncountable stars in the sky, a thing admired and studied since the dawn of time.
They are gazed upon with admiration, remain omnipresent- exuding an air of omnipotence, omniscience.
And in this amber era, one star seems to shine more brilliantly than the rest- capturing and mesmerizing all that lay their eyes upon it.

The researcher looking to revive an Aeon walks a path littered with praise━ ❝Genius❞ they cried. ❝A glimmer of hope❞, they revered.
The believer who patiently awaits the return of their Aeon walks the path of despair━ ❝Lunatic❞, in low voices, they chide. ❝Pathetic, desperate, pitiful❞, they murmured.

[First Name], a Mirror Holder, walks the fine line that separates these two. As the eras fly by, her patience seems to draw thin while her curiosity grows.

This stalemate━ this dilemma she's found herself in━ just when should she expect ❝solace❞ to drown her, both body and soul, in a gentle embrace?
By the end of this journey, who will strip her bare of the titles that wrap around her like layers of gauze, shielding her from this unfathomable reality?

And when will the ❝Wondergazer❞ lower ❝THEIR❞ eyes upon her form once more?
