The world held its breath.
A gentle warmth, like a sigh, spread through the soil, a silent acknowledgment of the faith that had been placed in its heart.
And in the darkness, the small seed stirred, awakened not by the light of the sun, but by the quiet love of the world that held it.
The dwellers, watching over their small garden, felt it too—a sense of peace, a feeling of rightness, as if the world itself had found its voice in that single, silent act.
