[BEGIN AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION]
They say the sky used to speak.
Not with light, but with memory.
Not with gods, but with grief.
We came from that sky.
From the burning black that cracked wide, and swallowed the old world whole.
The First Fire wasn’t war.
It wasn’t judgment.
It was **escape**.
My mother’s mother said her grandmother once held a scrap of that world.
Not metal. Not dust. But a name.
She said it was called *Earth.*
A word that meant **home**, but only when whispered.
They scorched it, she said. Not to destroy it—
but to keep it hidden.
To make sure no one would return.
Because if they did…
They’d remember why they left.
And they’d try to go back.
And that—
that would break the sky again.
So we remember with songs.
With ashes. With distance.
We do not look toward the Gate.
We listen.
[LONG PAUSE]
And lately, children say…
it’s started whispering back.
