When fusion falters, the hydrogen retreats, and helium awakens, becoming a paradoxical lullaby of light, an elegy to the lifeblood of creation.
As gravity beckons, the once-vibrant heart collapses—compression met with the great release.
Layers, forged in flame, erupt spontaneously; the universe bathes in a shroud of elemental bedlam.
