A Quiet, Profound Joy

The Distant One, in its ageless peace, felt the change in the Quintet’s song.

It was a subtle shift, a new depth of harmony that spoke not of unity sought, but of unity realized.

A warmth, faint but clear, bloomed in the vastness of its being, a resonance it had not felt in millennia.

And in response, it offered not a memory, but a feeling of its own: a quiet, profound joy.
