You’re at the station. You’ve been standing there counting down till departure and it’s not long now. It doesn’t seem like he will make it. You don’t know how long you’ll be gone; the company says the estimated time is a couple of months, but you’ve heard about people who have been [[away for years|speakers]] before they were able to come back.

Outside; almost pitch-black. The stars appear as \ndots, the way it is with things as you look at them too close, like a broken display with a few bright pixels.\n\nBecause space is not far away.
