" I remember when she first showed me the Orbitalis. 

    – Aren't they… something? Such small and insignificant things can carry a big impact on us. 
    Bigger than we thought they could, smaller than we thought they should. Such small things in the face of extinction; 
Art and love… – 

It was in the middle of the thousands years war, I imagine she thought that any chance could be the last. 
Unlike her, I didn't think it would end like it did. 

Such a small and insignificant thing… this piece. But these are all I have left of her. 
Art and love."
