During the third dimensional period in which the roots of the symbiotic plants took hold in the quantum soil of the "Perhaps" universe, Lyla's Mechanical Prosthetic Eye suddenly captured all the spectrum flowers turning toward the Paradise Core simultaneously—the petals once used to monitor the health of the rifts were now slowly rotating in the spiral trajectory of Mother's Notes's weld points. Her Mechanical Heart subsequently produced a high-frequency vibration with a 0.3-millimeter error, the frictional sound of its gear valves resonating with the spectral hum of the symbiotic plants to spell out two glowing rift characters at the genetic level: Continuity.
At the genetic observation station of the Overtone Corridor, Ice Drip's holographic screen was extrapolating an astonishing discovery: "The weld-nodule root systems of the symbiotic plants have formed synapse-level connections with the Paradise Crystal. Their tree rings no longer record history, but instead project the rift emotions of the multiverse in real time." Lyla touched the spectral interface of the observation station and found that her weld-point memories had actually materialized within the plant's tree rings—the slag spatter from when she welded at age fourteen had now become a cosmic-level emotional symbol representing "the birth pangs of creation."
The daily symbiotic practices of the Children of Polyphony were giving birth to new civilizational forms: a group of artisans skilled in using war-pattern fl…
