One flicker of mercy, and countless worlds are carried home.
The Arc
Think about the biggest thing you can imagine. Now think bigger: millions of worlds, every creature in every one of them. Each one belongs to the One. A single blink of the One's kindness is enough to end cruelty and lift whole worlds up. So you keep turning back, moment after moment, asking: hold my hand and walk me through. And the people who seem to have all the power? Kings, bosses, the loudest kid in class. Next to the One they are small. You can call out, keep me safe, keep me safe, and trust that you are heard. The whole world is the One's. At the centre, the Rahao: every being the One's to carry across, and millions of worlds lifted by one instant of mercy.
