Part 4/9:
Amid the frantic race against time, Yu found himself isolated when he missed the last rocket evacuation, left behind as debris from the asteroid rained down upon the Moon. He took shelter in a crater, but a violent impact left him unconscious. When he awoke, he realized Earth was no more; the asteroid had obliterated the planet entirely. Over the following months, Yu made attempts to reach out to anyone back home, but to no avail. With no hope of rescue, he resigned himself to a solitary existence, eventually engaging in whimsical pursuits to pass the time—surfing, breaking into Commander Jing's quarters, and even staging improbable dates with her photograph.
