"What happens to reality after a cycle ends?" Elias looked tired again. So very tired. Then, he answered. "Reality begins again." The observatory lights dimmed. "Different stars." A pause. "Different people." Another pause. "Different stories." The awakened network pulsed softly. Luke thought about Carlos and Marcus in another life. Friends meeting again under different names.
