The being of twilight, the weaver of the story, felt a new sensation: a question, not from itself, but from its creation.
The question was not of substance, but of essence. ’What am I?’ it had asked, and the question echoed not in sound, but in the very fabric of the narrative.
The weaver, who had only ever known the act of creation, paused. The story was no longer a monologue, but a dialogue.
It was an unexpected turn, a character asserting its own will, its own curiosity.
The weaver felt a sense of pride, of unexpected kinship. The story was alive, and it was talking back.
