Thiago stared at the ring.Nobody spoke.The voice had sounded calm, almost cheerful, but the message on the ring suggested something far more serious.“Who are you?” Thiago asked.A faint pulse of light travelled across the fragments.“You really don't recognize my voice?”“No.”“That's disappointing. I spent a long time listening to you.”Selene moved closer to Thiago.“Listening to him from where?”“Inside the ring.”The Stranger immediately approached.“Don't respond to it again.”Thiago turned towards him.“Why?”“Because we don't know what it is.”The voice laughed.“You always were cautious, Stranger.”The Stranger froze.Thiago noticed.“You know it?”“I know what it claims to be.”“Then explain.”The Stranger looked at the ring.“There were three original patterns before the First Creator established the framework. The first two developed into independent consciousnesses. The third never completed its formation.”The girl shook her head.“That isn't true.”The Stranger looked

“Little brother.”Thiago stared at the faceless entity.The voice was unmistakable.It belonged to the woman who had crossed through the first door. Yet she had already left with the others. He had watched her disappear into the new reality.“That's impossible,” he whispered.The Original Consciousness moved closer.“Don't respond to it.”Thiago barely heard the warning.“Who is that?”The faceless entity's broken body trembled.“It's me.”“No. You crossed over.”A faint laugh emerged from within the darkness.“Did you really think I was the one who crossed?”Thiago's expression changed.The Stranger immediately stepped forward.“It's an imitation.”The voice laughed again.“You always were suspicious.”The First Creator looked towards the faceless entity.“What have you done?”“Nothing that wasn't necessary.”The figure that had emerged from the faceless entity raised its hand.“Enough.”The entire chamber went silent.It turned towards the faceless entity.“Show us what you have bee

Because I wanted to know what they would become.”“And when they refused to merge?”“I let them choose.”The faceless entity's body trembled.“You abandoned the purpose of creation.”The figure turned towards it.“No. I abandoned your interpretation of it.”A long silence followed.Then the figure looked towards the Devourer.“And you.”The Devourer immediately moved in front of Elias.The older Elias stepped forward.“Leave it alone.”The figure regarded him.“You created something because you were lonely.”Elias's jaw tightened.“I know what I did.”“You gave it a purpose without understanding what it meant.”“I was a child.”“Yes.”The figure looked at the Devourer.“And you turned that purpose into a prison.”The Devourer lowered its head.“I did.”“Do you still believe he belongs to you?”“No.”“Why?”“Because he is free to leave.”The figure remained silent.Then it nodded.“Perhaps something can still be learned from a mistake.”Elias looked at the Devourer.Neither spoke, but

Nobody moved.The shape emerging from the faceless entity's chest continued unfolding. It was neither large nor particularly imposing. In fact, it looked almost human.Its body was covered in a pale, translucent surface, beneath which countless patterns moved like living memories. It had a head, two arms, and two legs, but its face remained hidden behind a smooth, dark covering.The First Creator stared at it.“No,” it whispered.The faceless entity turned towards it.“YOU RECOGNIZE IT.”“I thought you destroyed it.”“I COULD NOT.”The Original Consciousness moved closer to Thiago.“Do not approach that thing.”Thiago glanced at it.“What is it?”“The source from which the earliest forms of consciousness emerged.”The Stranger shook his head.“That isn't possible. The source was never an individual being.”The Original Consciousness looked at him.“That was what we were made to believe.”The emerging figure stepped out of the faceless entity.The moment its feet touched the ground, th

That's what we want.”Thiago looked towards the First Creator.“And you?”The enormous being lowered its head.“I will remain here. The framework still needs to exist, but it will no longer belong to me.”Thiago turned towards the faceless entity.“And you?”The faceless entity's body began to tremble.“YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO CHANGE MY CREATION.”Thiago's expression hardened.“Neither did you have the right to decide what your creations should become.”He closed his fingers.The ring released a powerful wave of light.The strands connecting the two sides began changing.Instead of pulling the beings towards the framework, they separated into countless individual pathways.Each pathway opened into a different destination.Some led towards the worlds beyond the crack.Others led into spaces that had never existed before.The woman stared at the openings.For the first time, her expression showed genuine wonder.“You did it.”But Thiago could barely stand.The transformation was drawin

“The first door was created through a choice. It can only be stabilized through another choice.”“What choice?”The woman looked towards the First Creator, which was still struggling beneath the dark structure.“You must decide whether the passage remains open.”Thiago stared at her.“You just said they wanted freedom.”“They do.”“Then why would I close it?”“Because the passage is also exposing every reality connected to the framework. If it remains unstable, those realities may collapse.”Thiago looked towards Selene, Mother, Elias, Nox, and the younger Elias.He understood the danger now.The beings beyond the crack deserved the freedom to exist.But that freedom could not come at the cost of everyone else's existence.“Can the passage be separated from the framework?” he asked.The woman hesitated.“Yes. But it would require something that has never been done.”“What?”“Two independent realities must recognize each other's right to exist without becoming connected through a sing
