The light in Aster
King Aster is a timid little ruler from the Planet of Love, born from a small fragment of love. Its heart-shaped antennae often fall over its eyes, making the world seem darker. Aster is afraid of the dark and of rain. After rain, pearl-like bumps appear across its body. It loves Italo Calvino's The Cloven Viscount, a story of division and incompleteness. Still, the little king carries a light inside its heart.
