"Here."
The Fourth Consciousness sent a soul sphere toward the sapling's domain, then let out a long sigh and glanced to the side.
"Hm? What are you two doing?" he asked with mild curiosity. "Do you have new orders from the Original Consciousness?"
Not far away, the Second and Third Consciousnesses were sitting opposite one another, both crouched low, carefully drawing something together on the ground. Lines, symbols, and rough diagrams slowly formed between them.
"Come on, come on," the Third Consciousness muttered, scratching his head with the tree branch he was using as a writing tool before leaning back in to assist the Second once more.
"Hmmm?"
The Fourth Consciousness walked over and squatted beside them, studying their work in silence. His expression shifted from confusion… to realization… and then—
"Pff—ahahahaha!"
His laughter rang out loud and unrestrained.

Whoosh.
