Falling Stars

The day she found Jiang Zhiwei, the rainy season was about to begin.

Sin Star had no sun, and Jiang Zhiwei's wounds wouldn't heal.

Every day, 1 wheeled her outside. There was no sunlight during the rainy season, but at least she could feel the breeze.

Jiang Zhiwei was naked every time, because in 1's understanding, clothes were meant to protect humans.

And injured humans didn't need clothes while they were resting.

That wasn't all. 1 had plenty of other oddities.

For instance, she thought humans danced whenever they were happy.

She thought kissing was a kind of treatment.

She cradled Jiang Zhiwei's face and kissed her, utterly convinced she was right. “Hera said this makes the ouchies fly away.”

Jiang Zhiwei: “...”

Jiang Zhiwei thought there was something wrong with her head.

Later, she thought it over and decided to let it go. 1 had been raised by robots. What did she know about being human?

Jiang Zhiwei had once been the Empire's perfect Dark Sentinel.

From the moment she awakened, she had been taught to fight for the Empire.

She spent half her life at war, only for her mother to cast her aside with her own hands in a bid for the throne.

No matching Guide, and liable to die at any moment anyway.

An unstable weapon could simply be thrown away.

The day she fell onto Sin Star, she thought her life was over.

Then she met 1.

1 knew nothing.

Nothing about the Empire, war, scheming, or betrayal.

All she knew was that the person she'd brought back had golden hair and a pair of wings, and was the most beautiful creature in the world.

With 1's daily comfort, Jiang Zhiwei started from zero and patiently shaped this wild girl into a Guide who belonged to her alone.

As her little Guide grew more and more capable, her wounds healed more and more.

The day she would leave Sin Star began to appear on her calendar.

But Jiang Zhiwei no longer wanted to go.

She kept wondering: What if, that day, her little Guide had found someone else instead of her?

Would 1 have liked that person this much too?

She would have.

Jiang Zhiwei: ...

(Twisted, gloomy, gritting her teeth! She straddled her little Guide and bit her hard! (Literally.)

An innocent, clueless wildling Guide 1 x a powerful, beautiful, broken Sentinel 0
