"That's what makes the teacher the most terrifying. It is trying to... become this world itself."

The Eden ruins were real; the Eden sanctuary was the falsehood.
Not just the Eden sanctuary—everything within the sanctuary was false.

Why did the deer of Eden only sniff at scents but never seek food? Why did the timid deer of Eden show no fear of humans?
Why did the Zuton Sacred Tree madly absorb nutrients in the red soil forest, yet coexist peacefully with countless others here?
Because they had no biological needs. And because everything else here was the same.
Because they were like him, mere consciousnesses detached from physical bodies.

She was merely searching for an answer.
But how could such an answer ever be found?
