unexpected encounter is the salt and pepper of a journey

When I was still in the hospital, my favorite activity was looking outside the window--since it was the only thing I could do.

The hospital was situated on a higher ground, and my room was on a high floor, so I could see the city from my window--yay for a VIP room. At night, I could see the city lights sparkling like stars, and I dreamt of one day coming down to look at the illumination from up close.

The Lord's Quarters balcony, which was also located on a higher ground, allowed me to look at L'Anaak Eed too. However, the light on the City of Greed only came from the street, which wasn't as strong as the one on Earth. They sparkled dimly, and did not scatter as much, only following the path of the main street.

This time, as the ship docked in the harbor of Ahrat, I could finally realize my dream.

This was the land of stars I had been dreaming of--the lights filled the entire space from the high ceiling to the deepest ground.
