“Yes.”

“Talk to me?”

“Yes, connecting nodes is how I talk to normal people better. And how parts of me talks to other parts of me. I do not think humans can talk that way, but birds might.”

It chirped again, cocking its head.

“So, you can understand the bird?”

“Yeah… unfortunately, I can’t understand it. I can only hope it understands me.”

“That makes sense; it was the way we felt with the sky people. When we go back, do you want to meet them?”

The land as they move through is a grassy plain. There are no mountains in sight.

Rust “walks” through the landscape, seeming to scramble and slip on the ordinary ground. They try to make some small talk. “Are there sky people here too? They come from the sky in me-alive devices and wear you-alive clothes.”

Adtae shook his head. Well… what do you mean? There are people like me and that woman, but they don’t come from the sky.

“Some strange people - some of them were humans and some were not - came from the sky one day. That is why they are called sky people. We are going to meet them.” Some of Rust’s node fall into a hole they didn’t notice, and they stop to fish them out. “The sky people look for more people around things called stars. I cannot see them, but they say they prevent the Spoiling from happening everywhere.”

Adtae nodded. Interesting. That… that… maybe. He looked up to sky. Perhaps.

Rust and the others presumably reach the dark doorway back to the Idea. “It was interesting to be here. I think I learned some things.”

I just thought of the place.

“That makes sense. I will try.” Rust goes up to the Idea, and touches it. Home. The Idea reaches out, and rather than form a new place, it pulls from elsewhere, creating things Rust has no way to know about. A thin slice of space near the Idea goes from barren to red and silver mixed into a sort of shining pink. “Before we go, the sky people had clothes to not mix you-life and me-life, and to not be damaged by the ‘star’ that prevents the Spoiling. I will get some.” A blurry, semi-transparent bundle appears at the feet of each person. The bird even gets a small one. @Spark of Hope @Through The Living Glass

Adtae looks at it. I don't need one. I'm already dead.
