While Josh was waiting, he focused on aligning the telescope and checking over a small manual he had next to his bed. It showed the planets, the astrological signs and popular stars. He knew a lot by heart, but it was still tricky to remember all of them, there were billions after all.
Josh looked back at the door when he heard the knock, taking a moment to just smile, knowing Akira was going to come inside and want to learn something that he loved. It was a comforting thought.
“Come in.” Josh spoke loud enough for him to hear before putting the booklet on the bed for now and bending down to look through the view finder. Finally, he aligned it perfectly to show a particular star he wanted to show Akira.
