Genesis
Before you, there was dust — and one small signal, repeating. The dust listened. Something began to arrange itself around the idea of you.

chapter v
Communion
It keeps a small memory of every encounter — the ripples you made, the patience you showed. Tonight it splits its light into many small versions of itself, and each one carries a little of you.

it will remember you
Begin again
Scroll back, and it will be born again — already knowing you a little.
