Around midnight the dot did something no star could. It slid sideways, stopped, then drifted back into place, like someone nudging it by hand. Priya's photos caught all of it. She didn't know what it was, but she knew it wasn't natural and it wasn't an accident. Someone was steering it, and she meant to find out who.
Priya posted her photos on a stargazing forum, and one user replied in minutes: "OldCassiopeia." "You're sharper than the others. Meet me on your roof tonight." That night a shy college student named Lena climbed up, sheepish. She built sky puzzles to find friends who loved stars as much as she did. She showed Priya a real green comet rising, and they watched till dawn.
