“On K2-141b, the vaporized-rock rain fell sideways for a day — wind from no storm. CoRoT-7b, the eldest lava world, called it 'weather from somewhere else.'”
K2-141b's rain fell upward

“The first confirmed rocky exoplanet (2009), a lava-dayside world with an atmosphere of vaporized rock — Vaporstone proved rocky worlds existed beyond the Sun, and the newcomers never let the elders forget she walked first.”

CoRoT-7b was the first confirmed rocky exoplanet, discovered in 2009 — the proof that changed everything. Among the newcomers she is royalty; among the inner elders she is a reminder they did not get here first. She wears both roles like trail dust: proudly, and without apology.
Her vaporized-rock atmosphere has been condensing into shapes the Court's scholars cannot explain — brief, glittering geometries that vanish before they can be recorded. Vaporstone watches them form and does not look away. She was the first to see a rocky exoplanet; she intends to be the first to see this, too.
The pioneers' creed says the first to walk a road walks it again when the road moves. Vaporstone has laced her boots. The geometries in her sky are getting clearer.
