“There are an imperceivable number of stars in this universe, each made up of two core elements. When one inevitably burns out, the other stagnates to survive—searching for its missing half until it too, perishes. And then the star itself becomes invisible, it just—disappears.” “Stardust,” I interject. “It becomes something else.” “Or someone else.” Silas shrugs. “Two dependent elements separated after millions of years, their dust will always pull in the same direction.”
