Location: Skyward Broadcast Relay – Central Uplink, Region Delta
Time: 3:42 AM
A flicker passed through the relay tower—an idea uploaded as an open broadcast file.
No encryption.
No credit.
Just a prompt:
> "What's the one thing you wish someone taught you earlier?"
Within an hour, over 18,000 answers flowed in.
"That failing doesn't mean starting over—it means continuing smarter."
"That you don't need permission to make things better."
"That kindness scales faster than authority."
By sunrise, the prompt had reached five continents. And not one person knew where it came from.
But it didn't matter.
Because the idea was moving.

On the eastern wall of the learning dome, a new speaker node crackled to life.
Children gathered with cups of warm broth and blankets, listening as answers from all over the world flowed in like wind across fabric.
