They've spent their lives training to explore the stars and now it's time to take their space cruisers out to discover the universe. But before Ethan and Ren leave Earth behind, they want one last epic adventure together in the chaos and beauty of Japan. It was supposed to be everything they dreamed of. But lifelong dreams have become torment, and neither knows how to escape the inevitable.
In Japan, it's not the crowded cities, endless stimulation, or relentless rush of activity which overwhelms Ethan's senses, but the merciless doubt of his own uncertain mind. His path has always been laid out for him but now he's adrift, lost at the crossroads of his life and feeling more alone than he ever has. He clings to Ren like a lifeline, the familiar perfectionism, enthusiasm, and unconditional acceptance of his best friend exactly what Ethan needs to find his way. The problem is that Ethan's way will soon no longer follow Ren's and the change terrifies him.
From the frenetic streets of Tokyo, to the historical majesty of Kyoto, to the peaceful resilience of Hiroshima, Ethan follows Ren's lead and his packed itinerary across the island of Honshu in a whirlwind trip which leaves little room to catch his breath. And breathless is exactly how Ren leaves him, as they see the sights as a couple, reveling in their newfound freedom to explore every aspect of their relationship. As deep as their love is, though, the enormity of their separate and solitary futures can't be denied. And time is an enemy they're powerless to fight.
The only thing that's certain is that they have to say goodbye. The universe waits for no one, and even though Ethan's waited so many years to finally have Ren for himself, he knows where their story goes. Because though they've walked the same path together, here's where it diverges. Here's where they become galactic explorers. Here is where they discover the true meaning of love.
