[ the horizon: a mass hallucination from a collective drug trip. she'd believe it. but heather's question gives river pause and she blinks curiously at her. ]

It's never "just" the sky. That's like saying the ocean is just water.

[ she seems earnest, almost incredulous in a way, as though the notion doesn't make any sense to her. they've been talking about magic this whole time but this is just simple science, and there is nothing river is more sure of than this. ]

The sky is infinite. An endless sea of stars, deeper than the human mind can comprehend. We travelled one hundred and twenty years to reach the White Sun from Earth-That-Was, and we still only saw a fraction of the known universe.

[ said as though the 'known' part itself is humorous. sorry if this is no less confusing than the info dump from before, heather, but river is bright and sincere when she smiles and looks to the ceiling as though envisioning the sky beyond. ]

Now we're in an alternate dimension where the multiverse coexists in a world made of magic. Whether it's here or in the Horizon - can you imagine what else might be out there?
