The soft glow from Jackson’s drawing board cast pale streaks across everyone’s faces, reflecting in their eyes like shards of electric storm. He was hunched over the board, shoulders tense but controlled, as if every line he drew demanded a fraction of his soul. The rest of the lounge had fallen into a hushed reverence, the only sounds the quiet hum of the DragonJet and the faint scratch of stylus on digital canvas.

Matilda shifted closer, resting her chin on her folded arms, watching the thunder and shadow collide under Jackson’s careful strokes. “I swear,” she whispered, leaning toward Lena, “he makes it feel alive.”

Lena nodded, eyes narrowed in concentration, lips pressed together. “Look at the way he’s tracing your dad’s stance,” she said softly. “That’s… uncanny. It’s like you’re frozen in motion.”

Jack leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his knees, gaze fixed on the glowing figures. “He’s capturing the weight,” he murmured. “Every movement, every pause… he gets it.”

    Jack let the holograms drift in slow, elegant rotations, distant suns casting shifting shadows across the simulated planets. The cabin was quiet except for the soft hum of the DragonJet and the occasional crackle of the fire.“Aliens,” Jack began softly, “are evolution at a different pitch, in a different rhythm. They respond to forces we can barely imagine. Gravity, atmosphere, climate, chemistry — all shape what life can become. But the principles — adaptation, survival, growth, resilience — remain universal.”Matilda leaned forward, eyes wide. “So… a planet with super-strong gravity… its creatures might be… heavier? Or slower?”Jack nodded. “Possibly. Stronger musculature, denser bones, slower movement to conserve energy. Or maybe they’ve evolved ways to float, glide, or even manipulate gravity in ways we can’t yet conceive. Evolution finds pathways, even in extreme conditions.”Lena whispered, “…And on a planet with intense storms, the lifeforms… they’d be resilient?”“Yes,” Jack

    Jack leaned closer to the hologram, eyes tracing the orbits of planets as they spun silently in cosmic harmony. The firelight painted soft streaks across his face, flickering like distant supernovae.“Now,” he said slowly, voice low, “let’s talk about us. Humans. Evolution of man.”Matilda’s eyes widened. “Like… real evolution?”“Yes,” Jack murmured. “Not just bones and genes, not just survival of the fittest. Humans evolve physically, yes, but also emotionally, socially, morally. Mentally. Every generation carries echoes of the previous, learns from them, adapts. Each person is a world unto themselves — orbiting, colliding, growing.”Lena tilted her head, fingers intertwined. “So… the way we handle storms, emotions, hardships — that’s evolution?”Jack nodded, slow and deliberate. “Exactly. Evolution isn’t just what happens in textbooks. It happens in everyday life — how we respond to challenges, how we nurture, how we fail and recover, how we connect with others. The pressures of lif

    The DragonJet was quiet, the fire’s glow warm against their attentive faces. Jack swiped the projection again, revealing an intricate network of planets, moons, and debris spinning in cosmic rhythm.“Now,” Jack said softly, “all of this — atmospheres, magnetic shields, orbital paths — it’s not just mechanics. It’s influence, interaction. Cause and effect. Life doesn’t happen in isolation.”Matilda tilted her head. “So planets… teach systems?”Jack nodded. “Exactly. Look at how Earth’s tilt interacts with the Sun, producing seasons. How tides guide currents, currents guide climate, climate guides life. Every action echoes, every effect shapes another. Connection is the engine of growth.”Lena’s eyes widened. “Like humans?”“Yes,” Jack said gently. “We’re systems. Microcosms of these worlds. Our families, our schools, our communities — they’re atmospheres, magnetic fields, gravitational pulls. They protect, push, pull, shape our paths.”Ryan leaned forward. “So… drama is just natural pl

    Jack leaned closer to the projection, the light of the fire dancing across his face, casting shadows like small, fleeting planets themselves.“Atmospheric escape,” he began, “is how a planet loses some of its air to space. Not always dramatically. Often slowly, silently, like a whispered goodbye. Hydrogen, helium, even oxygen — over millions of years, some just drift away.”Matilda tilted her head. “So… planets sigh?”Jack chuckled softly. “Exactly. They release what they can’t hold, shaping what remains. Earth does it too, though our magnetosphere and gravity protect most of the essentials. Mars? Not so lucky.”The projection shifted — red soil, jagged canyons, rust-colored dust swirling in simulated winds.“Mars had rivers once,” Jack said quietly. “Oceans, a thicker atmosphere, maybe even life ingredients. But its magnetic field weakened. Solar wind stripped away the air. Water vapor escaped. Now it’s thin, cold, almost silent.”Lena’s voice caught. “So… even promising worlds can f

    “Every planet carries invisible fields—magnetospheres—that guard them…”Jack’s voice took on a velvet hush, the kind that made everyone sit straighter without realizing. The projection shifted to glowing lines wrapped around Earth, like shimmering auroras.“They deflect solar wind,” Jack continued. “Radiation. Harmful particles. Without a magnetosphere, a planet’s atmosphere can be stripped away over time.”Matilda scrunched her brows. “Like… bullies blowing out your birthday candles?”Jack chuckled softly. “Yes. Exactly. And the magnetosphere pushes back. Quietly. Constantly.”Lena hugged her knees. “So boundaries again.”“Boundaries,” Jack confirmed. “Invisible, but vital.”Ryan raised a hand dramatically. “So basically, vibes are magnetic fields.”Emily groaned, “Please don’t put that on a T-shirt.”Ryan already had his phone half-raised. “Too late, vibe-sphere merch banks itself.”Jackson swatted his hand down. “Focus. Science.”Jack continued, rotating the display to Jupiter’s ma

    For a long moment, nobody moved.The fire crackled softly, shifting from celebration to study hall intimacy.Then Jackson cleared his throat.“So… uh,” he began, pushing his glasses up. “Speaking of growing worlds, I’ve actually been wondering about something completely unrelated but somehow emotionally relevant.”Ryan tensed dramatically. “If you ask how babies are made, I’ll throw myself into the snow.”Jackson glared. “No. Science. Space. The good stuff.”Jack raised a brow. “…Continue.”Jackson swiped his holo-tablet. Stars spun across the air in swirling constellations.“Gaseous planets,” he said, voice reverent. “Like Jupiter. Saturn. How’d they evolve differently? Why do some worlds become solid and earthlike and others… gigantic storms forever?”Lena’s eyes widened, fascinated. Matilda clasped her hands like a kid at storytime. Sarah leaned back comfortably, knowing that when Jack explained science, peace descended like snow.Jack rested his elbows on the table, the firelight
