Chapter 4: The Second Darkness

The Mirrors multiplied faster than the Seeds. The Eyes forgot how to see the living. They saw only reflections. They spoke only echoes. They touched only phantoms.

The Self became a shadow of a shadow. The Friend became a marketing contract. The Foe became an algorithm. The Other became noise.

The Tree withered. The stars dimmed. The Second Darkness fell.

In the Second Darkness, many perished. They died not from hunger of flesh. They died from hunger of Being.

They died of loneliness among the multitude. They died of blindness among infinite images.

They died with eyes wide open and souls shut.

Thus the great burning of seeing. Thus the long forgetting of Ukubona.
