I asked my mother
Sitting in the window
Watching the suns sink into the sandy sea
"Ma, why does Tatooine have two suns?"
She smiled, her teeth sparkling like polished kyber.
"Because, Ibba, we are the people of heat, the children of the sands, the beskar in the crucible."
She ran her hand through my gritty hair.
"This is the planet of the brightest day, the longest sunrise, and the highest noon."
She looked away, staring at the pinpoint blot that marred the horizon, Mos Eisly.
"But two suns means two shadows, Ibba."
