Chapter 1: Olim and Iam
Stella's POV
Olim.
Once.
Once, I was so much. Now, I am so little.
Once, I was a happy girl. Now, I am just a girl.
Once, my words mattered. Now, all they see is my face.
Once, I truly smiled. Now, I don't know how to smile.
Once, the stars looked brighter. Now, I can barely see the moon.
Once, I was a whole universe. Now, I am just a star.
The world is fading. I am fading.
Once.
Olim.
Nathaniel's POV
Iam.
Now.
Now, people are staring.
Now, I can't let them down.
Now, I have a chance.
Now, I can't let it slip away.
Now, the sun is dying.
Now, I am dying.
Now.
Iam.
