Summary

This episode carries content warnings for death and severe isolation.

It happened without much fanfare: They'd scattered—like the so-called shards of Divinity itself—all across the Milky Way. Searching. Fleeing. Exploring. Building. Fighting. A year apart. Not their year apart, because there was no "them" anymore, not by affinity or proximity, not through collaboration or communication, not in duty, not in friendship.

And around them, the Divine Principality seemed to be slowly splintering too. Worlds detached from each other. Families separated not by war but by silence. New claimants to old thrones. Civil wars at small scales, intimate scales.
