"What!? So many of my uncles and aunts, and Negative Entropy, Eternity, Hate, and the others..."
Galacta's eyes and mind shook as though she had watched the world collapse.
She was a cosmic entity, not one of the Abstract Concept Entities.
She only half understood what her uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters had just done.
She thought they had all sacrificed themselves.
Shock filled Galacta's face.
Suddenly, she felt the immense resolve of her elders and peers to save the universe.
As the shock lingered, something in her eyes slowly changed.

Galacta turned to ask him, sounding a little uncertain.

"I'm going to... uh..." The fire on Galacta's face froze.
Leon's words felt like hands shaking her
