Nova
It takes just one star to pierce a universe of darkness.
The laughter immediately makes Nova feel silly and foolish, her anger crumbling as Caly reaches for her arms. She purses her lips, looking down at where their skin touches, grounding her in the moment and the words her sister says. Her mind tries to argue that Caly's wrong, that she doesn't know what it's like to fail their mom; but her sister has never lied to her, and Nova trusts that she wouldn't lead her astray now. The negativity bends under the sunshine warmth of her reassurance, color breaking through in the slight twitch of Nova's lips. Of course she wouldn't fit in a black and white world.
Doubt trembles in her chest, still shouting that her mom can't love her and be disappointed at the same time. It weighs on her thoughts, her eyes a mix of suspicion and fragile hope when they raise to Caly. "That's it? She'll be proud again?"
