Now I remember seeing this before! As I told you my memory isn't exactly reliable LOL. But I'm glad I had a chance to re-read it, and as it always happens I appreciated it even more than the first time.
The quiet and the silence seem louder and more terrifying than the outside destruction; more, what happens in space seems nothing compared to the ongoing tragedy that is being consummated day by day, cycle after cycle.
And I love your Braca: he is the man we perceived he would come to be, and since this world you depict is way darker than the "canon", he shines much more brightly.
Hope there will be more...
