Chapter 35.5

 Play this song

The moon settles, in a dusky sky.

The gentle eyes of the north star rest upon your sleeping face.

And the heavens gaze upon you.

In this moment I know

You are not from the ground on which you tread.

But of the stars, of the stars

You are my radiant, my celestial child,

You are my radiant, my celestial child.

As night is drowned by morning

You remain at my side

Accompanying the sunlight

Until night swells,

Until night swells,

Again across the sky.

When dreaming

You return to the stars

Dreaming you return to the stars

You are my radiant, my celestial child,

You are my radiant, my celestial child.

I heard this song a few months back around the time I thought of Gloria's character, and I thought that it fit Anwyn and Gloria's relationship in a way that few other songs would be able to. Anwyn knows that her and her daughter's lives are miracles. Anwyn can only hope to guide Gloria while she can, knowing that whatever Gloria's destiny is, it's going to be out of her control sooner or later.

(I also love the song because I personally adore singing in a choir and before the virus hit I was actually in a choir. Oh, and watch the video, I find the visuals of this performance to be delightful.)
