"Night Night" (夜里厢)
// BLURB //
A mysterious woman clad in a shimmering gold dress stands out. The energy emitted by the Sun travels 93 million miles to touch her skin, a reminder of the vastness and wonder of the cosmos. What is she thinking, this enigmatic figure in gold? Her eyes, hidden behind a veil of smoke from her cigarette, betray a deep, contemplative gaze. Perhaps she is pondering the secrets of the universe or reminiscing of simpler times.

Just as the Drake equation seeks to quantify the likelihood of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations, she reflects on the infinite possibilities that lie beyond our own world. Drake states that given uncertainties there’s likely between 1,000 and 100,000,000 planets with civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. Our cosmic home. The sheer scale of the cosmos is mind-boggling, a testament to the beauty and complexity of the universe we inhabit. The woman in gold is but a tiny speck in the grand tapestry of existence, connected to the cosmos in ways we are only beginning to understand. Who is she, and what stories lie beneath the surface of her elegant facade? Only time will tell, as she remains a mystery waiting to be unraveled. Night, night.
