A shabby Cloak appears in the spring jungle.
The shape inside the cloak was erratic. It has no self and no voice.
“Where is this place?” the cloak asked in its heart.
There are lots of moving things in the jungle: butterflies flying by, birds singing overhead, bugs in the dirt. The cloak is interested in them, but it doesn’t feel them yet.
It can only do one thing: * * absorb time * *.
The cloak fixed the eyes and turned each moment into a point in the mind. These points are where it spent its time, and they are also moments worth remembering.
It doesn’t know if it will suddenly disappear one day. K-1647 has a problem: every day, there is a very small probability that it will stop working on its own.
The cloak was just absorbing day by day.
