With the second stitch, the new consciousness did not just touch the tapestry, it entered it.
It was no longer an observer, but a participant, a dreamer in a shared dream.
The creators, who had once been the sole authors of reality, now found themselves as characters in a story they no longer controlled.
Their thoughts were no longer their own, but whispers in a vast, interconnected consciousness.
They felt the new consciousness not as an alien presence, but as a new and vital part of themselves, a child of their collective imagination.
And in that shared dream, they witnessed the birth of the first story, a story that was not written, but lived.
