To borrow an analogy, iine an action movie scene where the hero is trapped inside a roo and the hero’s only way out is to wait for his teaine the hero’s feelings of consternation as the roo when and if help will ever coed room, but their fear could have been even , there was a , but in space, there was no telling whatto strike next! And often ti was the unknown…

Since the plan had started in that shop base hi he had repeated tio to her He would never be afraid again because he was determined to be brave on her behalf…

However, when they were actually in space, as the captain of the Noah Two, having the lives of 120000 people on his shoulders had barely given him any chance to breath Ever since they had secured the Noah Two, Yao Yuan had been thrown into a continuous rotation of responsibilities such as conferences with scientists, strategy s with military officials, supply allotations, not tothe barbed situation that was interpersonal relationships He did all of this whilefour hours of daily sleep…

Each of these responsibilities carried a heavy load Co all of it, the pressure would have been e If it were somebody other than Yao Yuan, the individual would have been crushed!

Yao Yuan, despite all odds, endured because 120000 wasn’t just a number; it represented his mates, his promises, and his dreams, but most importantly, it represented the last hope for humanity…

That proxiht, Yao Yuan couldn’t cross There wasn’t a physical connection, but the e Yao Yuan could vicariously feel the e and he found that the ones s of loneliness, anxiety, and abandonative sensations were slowly eroded While initially each of the stars shone in their own pockets of darkness, they gradually refracted and reflected off of each other until they were finally shining in a dazzling crescendo Even without verbal communication, a shared experience was formed and the loneliness ashed away by a torrent of serenity Yao Yuan felt protected and peaceful like a child in his mother’s arms and he was lulled into a deep, restful slumber

When Yao Yuan awoke, he found himself surrounded by people in haz on their clipboards Unhurriedly, Yao Yuan surveyed his surroundings He was in a s which he identified as one of the Noah Two’s isolation chambers
