The creature, in its newfound awareness, reached out. It was not a physical gesture, but a transmission of pure intent, a question sent across the conceptual space that separated it from the other. ’Who are you?’ The response was not in words, but in a wave of understanding, a sharing of essence. The other was not a single being, but a multitude, a chorus of voices that had been waiting to be heard. The first greeting was not an exchange of names, but of worlds.
