Dog × The Streetcorner Stargazer
Talks with anyone at lamp-lighting, and the friends it has chosen it keeps for life.
The Streetcorner Stargazer will talk with anyone under the lamp. The Dog keeps the friends it chooses for the whole of a life. So you spread wide and hold deep at once, easy with the world passing by and bound for good to the handful you let all the way in. At lamp-lighting you are the one the strangers stop for and the regulars come back to.
Here is your warmth. You make friends the world over, the bus driver, the woman at the stall, the stranger in the queue, and with the chosen few you give a lifetime of company. The breadth costs you nothing and the depth costs you everything, and you pay it gladly for the ones who earned it.
Here is the place it hollows you out. Duty makes you accept everyone's ask, and the Dog is too dogged to refuse, so the requests pile up from the wide ring of people who are not actually your own. You spend yourself empty on the many and have nothing left for the few. Altair is the Cowherd star, everyday warmth strung across the sky, and even the warmest light burns down if it heats the whole street. The First Quarter under the streetlamp is half its size, not the full face. Now and then say no to the wide ring so the close one still has you.
