Hotaru loved star gazing, it didn't matter which life it was she always loved looking up at the stars. She could never sleep at night so when most people would be asleep she would always climb to the highest point that she could find and look up at the infinite number of worlds that blazed across the sky in an indescribable array of sparkling lights.
In her first life she kept on giving her parents heart attacks with her disappearances but it was well known amongst the royal family that she would most likely be found in the Nox Tower listening to the whispers of the stone of silence and watching the night sky in awe. Sometimes when she was younger her father would join her, setting her on top of his broad shoulders and he would point out the many different constellations teaching her how to find her way using the stars to guide her.
What she loved most though was no matter where you are. The Moon Kingdom. Earth. Even on the small rooftop of Cross Academy was that they were always there.
They weren't always the same stars. Many of them had been snuffed out over the years, through the natural course of time or lost to the darkness. And of course you could see different stars depending on where you were. But it was nice to look out at the cosmos and admire it. To pretend that she was just a tiny speck in the grand scheme of things and forget that she could probably snuff out all of those brilliant worlds if she had to. The stars and all the lives that they represented were thousands of miles away from her reach and she could pretend that the distance protected their beauty from her rage.
It was so much simpler. Just her and the beautiful cloudless starry night sky.
