Panel 1

[Pilcrow and the Asterism float in outer space in their bird forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo.]

The Asterism: "I've embarked on an endeavor to enshrine our estate in the effulgence of eternal evenings."

Panel 2

[They move through space. Pilcrow now appears in his ophanim-like sphere of feathers form with many eyes and beaks. The Asterism's body is nowhere to be seen except for her head which stretches on a neck that goes to infinity.]

The Asterism: "From the vestibule to the veranda, a voyage through the void, veiled in velvet darkness dotted with light."

Panel 3

[They continue to move through space. The Asterism is three floating eyes in a nebula, and Pilcrow is a bird-headed humanoid crow in a mustard-colored suit with a red tie.]

The Asterism: "A living space not just lived in but alive with the luminous legacies of a billion burning stars."

Panel 4

[They pass through space where a coffee table and chair float. The Asterism now is in her bird-headed humanoid form of a three-eyed flamingo.]

Pilcrow: "I was hoping for something a bit more... grounded. Like, can we get a couch that doesn't orbit the coffee table?"
