ASTRID looked outside the window of the shuttle. There was nothing there but the vast blackness of space alongside millions of flickering stars. He could still remember his first space travel. That was during his and Reas' first visit to the Academe Planet. He was so ecstatic back then. After all, travelling in space had always been one of man's ultimate dream. It was a good thing that he was a child then. So, it wouldn't be too suspicious if he acted all excited and giddy during his first space travel.
He glanced at his twin brother who was leaning on him and sleeping deeply. He smiled helplessly. He knew this kid wouldn't be able to resist and would sleep once again. He relaxed his body so Reas could sleep more comfortably. He would let his head rest on his shoulder but the height difference between them was too huge that it would just make Reas uncomfortable if he did that.
