A fraction of a second. A glimpse so infinitesimal you almost miss it. Yet somehow it embeds itself—becomes woven into the very fibers of your being. Permanent. Unchanging.

Not just for one lifetime. For all of them.

Across dimensions, across the boundaries we think confine us. It simply... exists.

That's the thing about consciousness and existence—some moments transcend the linear. They echo through eternity. Every micron of awareness, every flash of recognition, they don't vanish. They persist.

We feel it. And it hits different every single time.
