The Melody of the Universe
Analyzing the melody of the universe demands a level of concentration far beyond imagination. Mental exhaustion overwhelmed me, like walking endlessly through an endless desert. My thoughts became tangled, and even the nebula before my eyes began to blur. At this rate, I risked making a wrong interpretation.
“...Let's take a short break.”
I murmured this, consciously releasing my focus from the Melody of the Universe. Within the vastness of space, I found a small yet warm light and drew near it. It felt like a faint glow emanating from a distant solar system.
The woman in the robe watched my actions quietly. “Are you tired?” her gentle voice asked.
“Yes, a little. If I concentrate too hard, I might misinterpret things,” I answered honestly.
She slowly approached and sat beside me. “Let's rest a little too. The vastness of this universe can sometimes wear down our spirits.”
Silence enveloped us both. The melody of the universe still flowed faintly in the distance, but its sound didn't feel quite as strong now.
“...Does this melody truly govern all of the universe?” After a while, the woman asked quietly. A faint doubt mingled in her words.
“...Probably. At least, from what I've seen so far, not a single phenomenon contradicts this melody. However, that might also indicate I haven't yet understood everything about this melody.” I answered slowly.
“...If that's the case, how much time will it take to unravel its entirety?”
“I don't know. A thousand years? No, perhaps it could last forever. But I intend to continue this journey. Until I understand everything in this universe, and until I master the way to play this piece completely.” I declared this with strong resolve.
Her eyes held a deep light, as if she understood my resolve. “...I see. I too shall continue this journey with you.”
Silence fell once more, but it was different now—a warm, hopeful silence. The rest had granted not merely physical respite, but mental refreshment and a renewed determination to continue this grand journey.
