The man sitting on the other side of the table

The man sitting on the other side of the table looked at the video module once, then looked at Yuha, looking like he still couldn't believe that Yuha was sitting in front of him.

are you

Yuha nodded, said, yes. I am him I don't remember coming last week

yes i remember The man shook his head, what do you do with words.

I am a word artist. Yuha tried to make his boyish face serious and said, the one you call a poet.

Poet?

yes I can arrange words in such a way that something ordinary becomes extraordinary.

A matter of wonder. The man sitting in front scratched his cheek and said, I thought these things were gone. I thought everything could be done with quantum networks. Painting can be done, music can be made, poetry can be written—

Yuha laughed and said, why don't you go? Of course it goes. But that picture, that music or that poem will be very low level. Funny, guys! If you want authentic art, you need authentic people. Only the pure brain of a pure man can write pure poetry. When Yuha tapped his head, he said, to write a real poem, you need a real connection between real neurons.

The man sitting on the other side of the table took a deep breath and said, "Don't take anything to heart, son, but I thought that no one takes such people as writers, poets, and artists seriously." I see that everyone has taken your letter very seriously. It has gone up three steps by being the primary selection. The Academy immediately gave permission—

He patted the table and said, why not give? Will give a hundred times. One poet's wishes are more important than the wishes of millions of people. What a poet thinks is the essence of the whole nation's thoughts. In ancient times—

The man sitting on the other side of the table raised his hand in a friendly manner and stopped Yuha and said, I understand everything, but my question is elsewhere.

Where?

Why do you want to get on a spaceship with so much?

His boyish face was now filled with excitement. He took a big breath and said, "You don't understand?" I am a poet. And Karira is the worshiper of beauty. I look for beauty like an owl. I find beauty in every point of this biodome. Now I want to find this beauty in the void of space. From the almost miraculous solitude of space–

The man sitting in front of the table raised his hand again to stop Yuha. He frowned and said, "You know how much training is required to go on a spaceship?" When the spacecraft starts to move at 10G, it looks like the whole spacecraft is going to break into pieces. The body becomes heavy like lead. The heart wants to stop under great pressure. It seems that the eyeball will come out of the coat. Can't think about anything clearly, a red screen trembles in front of the eyes, a pain in the head!

Yuha's eyes sparkle with excitement, he holds his breath and says, I want to have that experience!

will get You will get that experience. It seems to get more than that. Few people in a small spaceship. No contact, everywhere you look is a pitch black dark sky, stars twinkling in it. The man suddenly stopped talking about it.

Yuha asked, what about him?

Nah nothing

tell me I want to know everything.

The man took a breath and said, there is no danger? There are cosmic bandits. There are intergalactic rebels. There is guerrilla warfare. There is robbery. That day I got the news that an entire spaceship had gone missing.

A person's life is made up of all these experiences.

Looking at his bright eyes and boyish face, the man laughed and said, "Okay, then you prepare to become a man with all this." From what I have, it looks like your training is dated. After that you will be picked up on the first spaceship to depart.

What kind of spacecraft would that be? Who will be there?

It cannot be said in advance. Could be a commercial spaceship – maybe carrying ore. Could be a defense force spacecraft. Scientists can also have research spacecraft. If your forehead is bad, it could be a spaceship of criminals.

Yuha removed the hair from his forehead and said, I am not afraid of anything! I want to feel the terrible loneliness once. If people understand consciousness, they must first understand loneliness.

will understand You will understand loneliness. You will understand very well the pain of being alone. The man sitting in front of the table looked at Yuha and smiled kindly and said, "Don't blame me when one wants to squeeze another's leg."

Yuha said, that is also a kind of experience. To a poet that too has a value.

He wanted to say something more, the man stopped him and said, go, you go to the next room now. Your body needs to be tested.

He stood up and went to the next room.

It was already noon when Yuha left the Space Academy. The sun is overhead and quite intense. Muh. He looked up at the blue sky and took a breath. Wherever humans have settled in this space, they have created blue skies, created the sun. All this is actually artificial, the real sky of the real world and the bright sun shining in that sky, I don't know what it's like! Humans would still be living there if the stupid humans on Earth had not destroyed that planet. Will the people of the world ever be able to return to the world?
