~ The Comet of Incredibly Missed Opportunities™ ~
> "Every 11,111 orbits, it passes. You don't see it, but you feel it. That pang in your chest when you say: 'It could have been, but it wasn't.'"
Where are we?
The Comet of Incredibly Missed Opportunities™ is an unpredictable celestial body, glowing with lives unlived, choices left halfway, kisses never given, and resumes never sent out of fear.
It appears in the silence before a decision, or when you're about to say 'maybe' but instead say 'no.'
Effects of its passage
You remember that train you missed in 2018 and still hear the clatter of rails in your chest.
You see yourself saying "I'm fine" when you weren't.
You rewind all the sliding doors that shut without a creak.
Encounter with the Keeper: Mirandula the Perhapsologist
Species: multidimensional contemplative.
Speaks with the voice of all the versions of you you abandoned out of fear.
Wears a cloak sewn from "what if…?" and tells you:
"You're not the only one who left something behind. The truth is, some opportunities exist only to teach you the courage to lose them."
She shows you the Planetarium of Parallel Possibilities™ — stars representing every life you could have lived… and still, it wouldn't have been enough.
Exiting the gravitational field, you feel a light emptiness, like nostalgia for something that never happened.
And yet, you are fuller than before.
More real. More here. More real. More here.
~ Cosmic Lesson ~
Every missed opportunity is a fragment of a reality that wasn't yours.
Not everything was meant to be.
And some things were only meant to brush past you, to show you that you can survive without them.

~ Results ~
• Lost Soul – Vortex
(Mostly A)
Always in emotional motion. You get lost everywhere, yet find pieces of truth along the way.
• Lost Soul – Nebula
(Mostly B)
You don't know where you begin or end. Fascinating but disorienting. You shine when no one expects it.
• Lost Soul – Incomplete Puzzle
(Mostly C)
Pieces scattered everywhere (even under the cosmic couch). You're recomposing yourself with messy grace.
• Lost Soul – Rebel Satellite
(Mostly D)
You orbit everything except yourself. But every now and then, you shift orbit — and that's when miracles happen.
Note: Every type of soul is valid. Even the one that filled out only half the test and got distracted. (we see you 👀)
