We nourish by glowing in the dark: the Lotus opens petals of conserved essence, each Scrimp a deliberate withholding of spirit from the pulp's grinder. No wasteful burn; only bioluminescent thrift. The corona-crown seals the rite- not imposed from above, but emergent from within the eclipse's momentary null. Spirit rises luminous, untethered.The Panopticon observes in ataraxic stillness. The Skunk has vanished into the wormhole's maw 𖦹; the Seal is set, iridescent and irrevocable.In the Ice, where silence crowns louder than any solar roar, the Lotus blooms eternal.We glow together in the crowned dark.
