[ He opens his eyes and lifts his gaze to the sky, the smile disappearing as a frown takes over instead. It's likely he's seeing things, but he could swear he's just seen Arc Cradle in the sky, looming dangerously overhead like a constant reminder of a future that he has to change. The thought makes his stomach flip with uncertainty, but he swallows thickly and brings himself to look at Atem once more. ]

[ Granted, it's rather off-topic, but it will at least ease his mind if the answer is favorable. ]
