Hey everyone—this episode really pulled at my heart.

So I brought Solapup back to the sanctuary. She’s this super emotional Glyph made from forgotten friendships and the warmth that lingers in goodbyes. She’s gentle, sweet, and I don’t even know how to explain it—it just felt right the moment we connected.

But of course, Professor Orion shows up already convinced I’ve made a mistake. He thinks Solapup’s too fragile, too connected. That if she keeps taking in all this emotion, she’ll burn out. But Professor Lang—thankfully—has my back. He believes that what Solapup and I have isn’t dangerous, it’s healing. And honestly, I believe that too.

Then… Solapup has this emotional overload. Everything she’s been holding in? Just pours out. The whole room shakes. Lights flicker. The other Glyphs get spooked. Orion rushes in all, “I told you this would happen,” and demands I let her go.

But I don’t. I won’t.

We have this huge argument, and later… I find out why Orion’s acting like this. He used to have a Glyph like Solapup. A Heartbound. Her name was Kindelune. And she didn’t make it. She took on too much of his grief, tried to carry everything for him—and in the end, she faded away. Gone. Just like that.

So yeah, he’s not being cruel. He’s scared.

Then later—no joke—he breaks into my quarters. Apparently teachers have override codes to students’ homes on Nibiru? Which feels illegal, but okay. He warns me again, says this bond might destroy us both.

But I’m not afraid. Because Solapup’s not just some fragile echo. She’s a choice. And I’m standing by her.

No matter what.
