Through a blend of whimsical imagination and reflective philosophy, it delves into the complex nature of relationships and identity in a cosmic context. The narrative follows Yljm, an alien character whose life intertwines with Mjly, a celestial being. As their world faces ecological collapse, Mjly sets out to another planet, Earth, which holds promise and sustenance. Following a long absence, Yljm resolves to find her, only to discover that Mjly has transformed into microbial life, signifying the beginnings of animal life on Earth.
