The cold expanse of space. He has wandered this place endlessly to carry out the final mission of Deus Machina. However, having reached his physical limit, he succumbed to exhaustion and paused to rest. Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep, surrendering his body to the pull of gravity. When he wakes, he sees only the black, freezing void of space that has become tiresomely familiar. Swallowing a sigh, he fidgets with his medal—nothing more than a piece of metal covered in frost from the sub-zero temperatures. The memories of the Star Guardian unit are still vivid, yet he is acutely aware of how much time has passed, leaving him feeling only more lonely and fatigued.

He feels as though he rested, yet he is still significantly tired.

...Should I close my eyes just a little longer?
