The creators watched, not as architects, but as an audience. They had built the stage, but the play was now writing itself, and they were as much a part of the performance as the actors.
Their role had shifted from one of creation to one of witness, and in that shift, they found a new and profound understanding of their own creation.
It was no longer their story to tell, but a story to be told, and they were privileged to be the first to hear it.
