In a not-so-distant future, Earth has become uninhabitable. Humanity has relocated to a massive space station orbiting Saturn. Among them is Aya, a teenage girl who finds an old, unopened letter in a preserved time capsule—written decades ago by a boy named Ravi to his future self.
The letter speaks of hopes for a greener Earth, dreams of becoming a poet, and a girl he once loved but never confessed to. Moved by his words, Aya becomes obsessed with learning about the old world. She starts documenting Ravi's dreams through her own poems and artwork, which she shares in the digital archives aboard the station.
One day, an elderly man visits her exhibit. He's quiet, overwhelmed, and finally tells her: "I’m Ravi." He had forgotten about the letter, but Aya helped him remember who he was before Earth fell. The story ends with Aya handing him a fresh letter—to the future—this time written by both of them.
