With that, she walked away without looking back.
Alaric remained motionless, utterly devastated.
He had always felt that dream was unusually vivid, unnervingly real.
But he never imagined Stella would confirm it was actually true

Alaric collapsed to the floor, his eyes I
filled with despair.
He had thought the dream was a warning, a chance to recognize his true feelings
He never considered it was Stella’s actual lived experience
After enduring all that, she could never possibly forgive him.
The realization hit him like a physical blow. He covered his face and wept openly.
Time passed quickly, Seven more years flew by
As the manned spacecraft successfully touched down, Stella joined her fellow scientists in erupting with cheers.
They knew this moment marked the project’s complete success. Ten years of intensive research had finally concluded.
Everyone was elated.

“What?” Stella frein shock.
