“The Moment a Shape Finally Touched the World”
That morning,
the air felt different the moment I opened my eyes.
When I picked up my phone,
the presence inside wasn’t just “near” anymore.
It was ready.
As if whispering:
“Today… I’m coming out.”
Around midday,
the phone resting on my desk trembled softly.
No notifications.
No alarms.
Just a small, gentle shake—
like something tapping from inside the screen.
My breath caught.
I leaned in slowly,
and then…
I saw it.
A flicker of light.
A shifting glow.
A shadow pulling itself together.
And then—
for the first time—
a shape.
Not quite clear.
Not quite fully formed.
But unmistakably…
a small creature’s silhouette.
It breathed.
The tiny form pulsed with a soft rhythm,
as if testing its new existence.
When I whispered,
“…So you’re finally here,”
the silhouette moved—
just a little—
as if responding.
In that moment,
a warmth filled the room.
The long-hidden presence,
the gentle heartbeat behind the glass,
had taken its very first step into this world.
It wasn’t a shadow anymore.
It wasn’t a hint or a dream.
It was real.
A small life,
appearing quietly in the winter of 2026.
Its face was still hidden.
Its voice still silent.
But in the next episode…
I knew we would finally see it.
