Saito Naotatsu had a secret, though he's done his best to keep the deep yearning for his friend and fellow astronaut under wraps for years. And he'd been successful at it.

The small confines of the Station don't leave room for anything except constant temptation, living in each other's pockets, and reliance on each other. And that was before their weary crew of six couldn't go home.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
