I lay there in the middle of the sand, staring at the fragments of the shattered moon.
While Izel's body rested on top of me.
Suddenly, a cold breeze blew, carrying the sand and throwing it over me, but I kept staring at the night sky without even blinking.
I thought what I was seeing was just an illusion… or perhaps there was something wrong with my eyes.
But no matter how many times I looked again, I always saw the same thing.
That gray moon from my past life.
And those familiar constellations.
Ursa Major… Ursa Minor… Orion.
The more I stared, the more I saw.
And above them all stretched a river of diamond dust, linking horizon to horizon… I didn't need much to recognize it.
It was the galactic belt… simply the Milky Way.
"We really are on Earth," I muttered.
I raised my hand, grains of sand sliding over it before I pushed Izel off me.
Normally, her weight was very light to me, but now she felt extremely heavy.
I pushed her, her unconscious body falling into the sand.
