On the sill sat a heavy brass magnifying glass, left angled carelessly over an open atlas of astronomical constellations. Water droplets condensing on the outer pane distorted the pale morning light, scattering chaotic reflections across the charts.

Order returned to the celestial ink, quiet and clear. Phoenix 🔥🐦 - A Beacon in the Mist - 🎞 Buddy Story ; part 8 #Phoenix #X-Men #Kreecykeproductions #September2026 #BuddyComicStories
