Keeping a level head in the face of potential rejection. Oooh what a thorny topic this will be!
The idea of having something beautiful and profoundly yours ripped away from you is probably the one thing that terrifies anyone in my position more than anything else.

And so we’re leaving our little moon for a New Sky. As Himalia crumbles and falls apart around us, we depart for our new home.
‘What a lot of people forget is that Zephra has done this before…’
All this talk of the world ending just makes me laugh really.
