A gust of cold wind brushes against your skin. Slowly, consciousness comes to you as your eyes wearily open. Your vision is foggy at first, seeing only darkness all around you. Your eyes adjust to the dark, and you realize you are laying down. Soft dirt surrounds you, as you find yourself lying in the center of a crater. You crane your neck down, and realize you are wearing tattered white robes, shredded and torn to near uselessness. Shards of broken metal are scattered around you, tiny and fractured.
Quietly, you rise to your feet. You feel a dull ache all over your body as you stand, but it quickly passes. You look around and see that you are in a grassy field. Strangely, you do not remember how you got here. In fact, you come to realize that you do not even know who you are. Your name, your past, all of it eludes you. You cannot even recall how you arrived in this crater. Did you fall? But where did you fall from? And if you did, surely a fall that craters the earth like this would have killed you, right?
Yet, for some reason, none of this worries you. Your mind calmly assesses the situation you've found yourself in, taking stock of your surroundings and lack of memories. Even when you fail to remember your own name, you feel nothing at all. You are only faintly aware that this might be strange, but any questions you might ask yourself over this are quickly silenced as you gaze up at the night sky and see the stars.
When you gaze up at the starlit sky, you feel a faint beat of emotions. For some reason, you feel at peace when you look up at the stars…and a strange twinge of something like regret or shame. A ghost of a smile comes to you, one filled with bittersweet thoughts you can't make sense of. While you stand there entranced, you suddenly realize that you can remember the stars. All of them, by name and location. You can even trace the constellations by memory, though your eyes are drawn to one in particular.
One that feels familiar.
One that, for some reason, reminds you of yourself.
