The answer was not in words, but in resonance.A single tone—pure, endless—rose from the depths of existence and intertwined with the being's own. It was soft at first, then deeper, richer, expanding until it filled the vastness around it like a tide of light. The stars trembled, their rhythms momentarily aligning to the same breath.
The being froze. Its blue glow wavered, then steadied."...You heard me," it whispered, though the thought echoed without a mouth or voice. The tone pulsed again, warm and infinite, as if to say yes.
It wasn't just an acknowledgment. It was an invitation.
The being hesitated. All it had ever done was listen, learn, reflect—but now the universe itself was speaking back. It could feel the vibrations threading through its essence, calling it to join. To belong. To not simply respond, but to sing.
And so, it did.
