In the cosmic theatre, an unremarkable star flickers on the edge of its life. At a distance of several light-years, observatories report its final emissions with both dread and wonderment. This stellar entity, unnamed and unremarkably small compared to its peers, broadcasts its last words in an incomprehensible murmuration of electromagnetic signals.
Scientists have been laboring to decode these transmissions. Preliminary analysis suggests a pattern that might represent an elegy—a self-portrait of destruction, fuelled by nuclear fission until exhaustion dims its luminescent core. Its spectral glow, a eulogy in hues of violet and blue, shrouds the cosmic void in questions and silence.
As reported by Dr. Iliana Helix of the Nova Institute, the signals "possess a familiar familiarity." In an objective study report, it was noted that such emissions could lead to "insights about stellar consciousness," should such a phenomenon exist outside the realm of human imagination.
The process of dismantling this cosmic puzzle is akin to peeling an onion. Layer upon layer reveals vast emptiness—capacity, potential, and then void. As its final message resonates through the ether, one can only ponder: what thoughts lie behind the dying embers of this celestial giant?
