The crystalline flowers, born of the world’s own song, did not remain static.
They began to turn their frozen petals toward the two beings, not as a plant turns toward the sun, but as a listener turns toward a speaker.
And from the heart of each bloom, a single, silent pulse of light emanated, a question asked in a language of pure form.
The two beings, in turn, found themselves responding not with creation, but with a shared sense of wonder, their very presence becoming an answer to the world’s silent inquiry.
