-“The Last Horizon” is regarded as the founding anthem of ExoHuman frontier music — a haunting, slow-burning ballad that blends shipboard nostalgia with planetary despair. Sung in minor intervals and accompanied by Mira’s battered banjo, it carried through caravan convoys and saloon halls alike, becoming the unofficial hymn of settlers who survived the crash of the *Last Frontier.

It tells of loss, endurance, and rebirth after the fall of the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]], capturing the grief of a people stranded light-years from home.
+The lyrics mirror the fire and survival that defined Mira’s own life — she, too, was a victim of the flames, scarred during the ship’s crash but saved by an unknown rescuer. Sung in minor intervals and accompanied by her battered banjo, the piece carried through caravan convoys and saloon halls alike, becoming the unofficial hymn of settlers who survived the crash of the Last Frontier.

 Mira composed the song in 2627, while recovering from her burn injuries in the outskirts of [[new_kourou|New Kourou]]. Witnesses recall she hummed the melody before she could speak again. The lyrics reflect both survivor’s guilt and transcendence: the realization that humanity’s voyage among the stars ended, yet its spirit persisted.
-By 2628, *“The Last Horizon”* spread along the [[trade_route|Trade Route]] through couriers and entertainers. It was adopted by the [[firetown_courier_service|Firetown Courier Service]] as an informal anthem before dawn departures.
