   Summary

   It's difficult to be the last of a species at the end of time, so far removed from the past that it's barely recognizable but not too far to avoid the memories of home sprinkled all around. But what does "home" really mean?

   Two endlings have a conversation about being lonely together.

   Written for the 2025 Collapsed Stars reverse mini bang!

   Summary

   How much time has passed? They don't even bother to hunt you anymore. Time passes, and passes, until your life before is some half-remembered dream. If only you could wake up.
   ---
   The story ends. Gypsum regrets the choice they made in fear.
   Together with an unexpected companion, they work to change the epilogue.

   Summary

   Hal agreed it would be funny. If it really comes down to it, they can blame it on Hal. Of course, it wasn't Hal's idea in the first place, and Gneiss is known not to take any kind of excuse for tomfoolery and shenanigans, so actually, blaming Hal wouldn't do them any good at all. They probably will do it anyway.

   (But what kind of astronaut has time to practice their instrument when they've only got 22 minutes at a time to explore the solar system, anyway?)

   Summary

   While conducting experiments in the functionality of the sun station, the Nomai notice something strange: Instead of the intended effects, it seems the sun has started to dim. A consensus is made, and they seek a solution. But it seems like they are not the only ones doing so.
