&quot;A star falls from the sky and into your hands. Then it seeps through your veins and swims inside your blood and becomes every part of you. And then you have to put it back into the sky.

And one day, it&#039;ll fall from the sky and hit you in the head real hard and that time, you won&#039;t have to put it back in the sky again.&quot;
