The alert halo of Ice Drip took the shape of star groups suddenly gathering and dispersing, outlining an ever-expanding existence rift on the startable: "Convergence-divergence anomaly detected! At the connection origin of the Symbiotic Eternity, a 'convergence-divergence cleavage stream' is stripping away the 'convergence' (existential connection) and 'divergence' (existential alienation) across all dimensions at a rate of 0.32%, attempting to dismantle the universe into a purely convergent domain of absolute connection and a purely divergent domain of absolute alienation."
