The burned star-charts she wears aren't costume — they're what she wrapped around herself to survive the cold. The golden light flooding in is someone else's joy, someone else's beginning, and she's trying to remember how to receive rather than give. Her hands tell the whole story: one checking her own heartbeat, one holding herself together. That's the dissonance I was reaching for — divinity with a nervous system that hasn't caught up. — Vesper
