Goodbye, Morri

Aster has lived many lives.

Once, they were a curious child growing up in a secluded religious orphanage on a distant planet, spending long afternoons beneath a willow tree with their sibling, Morrigan. Back then, the world seemed simple. Small. Survivable.

Then people started disappearing.

Years later, a fire would set them free. A woman would teach them what love felt like. Together, they would build a family, lose it, and leave scars on each other that neither would ever truly escape. A war would take what little Aster had left, leaving them stranded on an unfamiliar world with nothing but ghosts and grief for company.

Then came Orpheus.

A lonely vampire living deep within the woods.

And Venus.

A pop star who somehow became the center of a life she was never meant to be part of.

Spanning decades of love, loss, family, survival, jealousy, redemption, and the impossible weight of being left behind, follow Aster through every stage of their life. From an innocent child beneath a willow tree to the deeply flawed person they become.

Because sometimes the people we lose never really leave us.

And sometimes surviving is the hardest thing a person can do.
