...How vast the cosmos is. With its wonders and monsters, its mystery that frightens and fascinates at the same time. But also... It's the cold, the loneliness, the silence, eating away everything in me from within. I can't even remember how many years I've been wandering, not even noticing how objects fly into my event horizon. But I don't mean any harm!

But I'm not alone in the universe, no. This blue planet, Earth, is so full of life and joy. So much water, so many plants, so many creatures, from the smallest single-celled organisms to enormous animals. It would be a shame to lose it all so easily... But alas, I can't get too close.

I was there once. At some TLC, when there was a strange competition. There were a ton of objects, each unique in its own way, memorable in its own way. I remember one..Tree... faintly, honestly. But why did I start to feel his gaze on me?Look closely... And indeed, a tiny tree is watching! Well, so be it... I won't disturb him... I must look like an anomaly to them...

I don't want it to be like that... I dream of being like them... Safe, and surrounded by life... And yet, I end up wandering in orbit! Luckily, I can somehow communicate with them... With these fragile inhabitants... Like that tree... Yeah, about him again. Well... He seems like a good friend and companion. And I kinda like trees... If only I weren't so huge, even when I'm infinitely small... If only my gravity weren't so strong, so... crushing... So that I could come down, spend time with them... Make friends...
