So, here’s the tea: Ba’luma drags me out in the middle of the night without a word, and suddenly we’re dodging explosions, speeding bikes, and gunfire because—get this—my noir porcelain skin is apparently some rare Vellicorian treasure. Like, really? Y’all never seen a Black girl in space? We barely escape into a weird psychic cave, but now I’m side-eyeing Ba’luma because he’s clearly been hiding shit from me. Between this grimy winter planet, losing all sense of time, and my AI bestie Q trying to keep me sane, I’m unraveling. We fake bond over art, but things take a dark turn when Ba’luma grabs me by the throat. Chaos, betrayal, survival—welcome to my galaxy, babes.
