Celestial Bodies

Suyana is the last caretaker of the Celestial Archive.

Years ago, the archivists ventured into its depths, and Suyana was chosen to keep watch while they sought greater secrets about the night sky. They promised her they would return, and all would be well. But as more and more time passes, Suyana is forced to deal with a crumbling Archive and curious outsiders all alone.

She clings to the hope that they will return, and that together they will make the Archive better than it had ever been. But when a new visitor arrives at the nearby town, asking far too many questions, Suyana has to ask herself: is she really willing to wait for the archivists' return forever?

Does leaving it all behind mean giving up on hope, or does it mean rising to meet a new one?
