    Summary

    On the Ark, it had always been cold. Predictable. Routine. Everything ran on systems—timed, measured, controlled. Life was sealed in recycled air and artificial gravity. Nothing unexpected. Nothing alive.

    Earth was different. Day bled into night. Heat clashed with cold. Joy came with sorrow. Earth pulsed. Earth breathed.

    Clarke didn’t. Not anymore.
