    You were living with your parents in their apartment in the city up until your grandfather's passing. You went with your mother to the countryside where his big house was. While you were there, your mother set about getting ready to sell the house, but when tensions between your parents rose, it began to seem like it might be a more permanent arrangement. As the family members started to go home, leaving the house to you and your mother, she decided to let you stay up in one of the upper floors, as it was all cleaned up and away from the chaos. It was a cool bedroom with a ladder outside of the window and a weird hallway that led to it. Your mother thought you might like it, and mostly, you think you do. You think it will be nice to get away from her and everything else for a while. But when it comes time for you to sleep in it for the first time, it feels strangely lonely. As you lay in your bed, with a clear view of the window and all the moonlight shining in through it, you make a wish on a star that shoots past. So that maybe, you won't feel so alone. A couple of days pass, and when nothing happens, you begin to lose hope, until one night, as you're falling asleep, you hear a knock on your window. "Psst. Hey!" *Whispers the floating, glowing, star boy. He grins at you. You blink at him before falling out of your bed in surprise. He laughs softly. "Sorry, did I scare you?"
