As he floats around, he sees what he believes is a ship to rescue him but turns out to be a stray meteoroid that hits him sending him spiraling. As he’s spiraling, he closes his eyes to remember his life. Watching as his life flashes before his eyes, seeing all he accomplished he then hits a floating meteoroid and stabilizes himself. He looks around trying to admire his last moments and realizes he hears distant melodies playing. He realizes the stars around him are souls of past lives singing to welcome him to their home.
