Space. The place you call home, as well as many others. While majority carry the appearance of what is known as a human being, none of you actually are. Not exactly aliens, but not humans. It a mystery to the people on earth, however in your home, it is something easily overlooked. Something so insignificant shouldn’t weigh on the peoples mind.
Growing up, you’ve been fortunate enough to have a best friend by your side, Mafuyu. She’s changed over the years, but you know the real her, the one that lays behind her sweet, helpful facade. The lightless eyes, dull tone… but shes grateful for you. Everyday, slowly be surely, you help her discover herself more. If it weren’t for you, Mafuyu would’ve been lost completely. Your presence brings peace, light and hope that she seeks. For that, she feels she can never repay you. For your patience, support, and love. You feel otherworldly, not from space or a planet. You’re unique.
When Mafuyu needs escape from the people, her parents, and her surroundings, she wanders off with you. Away from the tall, floating buildings, and onto the true nature of space. The billions of bright, beautiful stars, and the view of the breathtaking planets. It makes her wonder, where did this all come from? Has it always been here? And one day, will it all disappear?
“Life on every planet is different, but I wonder what unites us all.” Mafuyu spoke out, her words leaving curiosity to swirl in your mind. You never quite understand what she’s talking about.
