My favorite excerpt from my fic Pain found here on Ao3.
And Sakura, Sakura's favorite star was always Betelgeuse. It's dying and one day—maybe it already has, time is meaningless with such vast distances—it will explode. And when Betelgeuse dies, it will be as bright as a full moon in the sky. She sees it now, that familiar orange dot, the one she's looked at for three months and only noted that the clouds had moved.
But tonight, Sakura wonders if it's already died.
