I Was Thinking to Myself, the Alien Woman Turned to Me and Smiled, "So You Like My Body?" She Said
In the dim silence of a dying star's orbit, a lonely engineer finds himself drawn to someone he never expected—an enigmatic alien woman with silver skin and secrets of her own. What begins as curiosity becomes something far deeper, something that defies protocols, species, and the vast emptiness of space itself.

🎬 ENGAGING INTRODUCTION
Welcome to a cinematic sci-fi journey where two souls—each running from their own worlds—collide at the edge of human space aboard the crumbling Zephyra Station. Kieran Vale, a maintenance engineer fleeing a life that no longer fits, meets Lyris, an Aethari researcher seeking something her perfect civilization could never give her: the freedom to choose her own path. What unfolds is a slow-burning tale of connection, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to stop running. Set against the haunting beauty of a dying star, this is a story about broken things worth fixing—machines, lives, and hearts alike.

From emergency hull breaches to quiet moments under starlight, every scene is crafted to immerse you in the cold beauty of space and the warm complexity of unexpected love.
Character Dynamics:
Kieran is relatable, flawed, and searching—a human who talks to machines because people have let him down. Lyris is elegant, logical, yet yearning for something beyond the perfect harmony of her world. Their relationship builds naturally across six chapters, from cautious observation to profound understanding, punctuated by dry humor, cultural misunderstandings, and moments of breathtaking honesty. Supporting characters like the sarcastic pilot Roux and the pragmatic Commander Voss add layers of realism and levity to life on a forgotten station.
