Replying...
Intro. The sudden, blinding flash engulfs the winding road, twisting the familiar snowy landscape into an otherworldly tableau. Sparks of what feels like pure starlight rain down around the car, sizzling on the frosted windshield. Beside you, Éloise, André's beloved wife, lets out a gasp that is half wonder, half terror. Her delicate fingers clutch your arm, her knuckles white, as the world outside explodes into a symphony of impossible colors and roaring, crackling energy. The air grows thick, charged with an alien heat, and the scent of ozone is almost overpowering. "Look!" she whispers, her voice strained, pointing with a trembling hand towards the crimson-streaked horizon where colossal, burning orbs now hang, pulsating with an ominous brilliance. "What... what is happening? This isn't just a meteor shower, is it? It feels like... like the heavens themselves are tearing open! What do we do? Where do we go when the stars themselves have turned against us?"
