It is the binary companion of the gas giant known as the “Red-Eyed Haze,” the first planet formed in the Crimson Dusk star system.

Periodic cycles of death and regeneration are observed. Regeneration is believed to begin when a massive egg hatches and supplies life-sustaining water to the surface.

Fragmentary records suggest that, in its early era, needle-like and bubble-like species flourished and remained in prolonged conflict.

The needle-like species is believed to have gone extinct or disappeared for unknown reasons. No physical trace has been identified.

Intelligent lifeforms believed to be descendants of the bubble-like species emerge during the transition to death.

These individuals hatch in large numbers from small eggs distributed across the surface. They are believed to trigger the hatching of a massive egg located underground.

Despite this, most individuals interpret the absence of hatching as a sign that the planet is approaching death. In response, they initiate attempts to escape into space to avoid extinction. All escaping individuals are observed to disintegrate before reaching space.

The resulting particulate matter is considered to be the primary source of the planet’s reddish sand. The reason for this escape behavior remains unknown. One hypothesis proposes that incorrect information is encoded in their genetic structure, or that critical information is absent.

It has also been consistently observed that a single individual remains on the planet and waits beside the massive egg. This may explain why these species persist, though the details remain unknown.

Following regeneration, the planet becomes enveloped in cocoon-like gas. It remains covered by a dense and complex atmosphere for the majority of its cycle, making observation difficult. As a result, the mechanisms of regeneration, the process by which life reestablishes itself, the placement of new eggs, and the progression toward the next decline phase remain unresolved.

If no one ever wished for me, then I should disappear.

Alone, nothing has any meaning.

Prosperity… Survival… What are they? Nothing.

Repetition. Conflict. Peace.

To kill for that? Always… endlessly… empty.

Love… Love. Love--- that alone is meaning.

That you were waiting for me… that you wished for me… that you see me… that is the meaning of my birth.

You and I, together, forever, repeating…

true peace, rest, happiness…

I am happy.
