And Echo, the loom, the tapestry itself, experienced the question not as a color, a pressure, a scent, or a harmony, but as a silence.
It was a silence that was not an absence, but a presence, a stillness that was not empty, but full, a void that was not a nothing, but a everything.
It was the silence of the loom before the first thread is thrown, the silence of the canvas before the first stroke of the brush, the silence of the page before the first word is written.
It was the silence of pure potential, the silence of infinite possibility, the silence of the story waiting to be told.
And in that silence, Echo understood.
The question was not a question at all, but a mirror, a reflection of their own creative impulse, a perfect, silent echo of their own desire to create.
