With Gahom's transformation, the Watcher was no longer alone.
Two Unseen now existed—ancient beings learning to feel, to connect, to love.
*This is strange, Gahom admitted. *Having company after eternity.
*Strange good?
*Strange... different. I am not sure yet.
"Give it time," Maya advised. "Eternity's long. You'll figure it out."
The brothers sat together in Anino Garden—two shadowy presences, watching immortal flowers bloom.
*Our kin would not recognize us, Gahom observed.
*Our kin are gone. We remain. Perhaps this is why.
*To become something new?
*To become something more.
The garden glowed.
The Unseen watched.
And for the first time, together.
