They never meant to change the world—only to open a small crack by accident. 186Please respect copyright.PENANAee2WDpY9rn
From that day on, observation began.

The One Above All was wandering in thought that day.
Its consciousness drifted past the edge of the galaxy, slipped through the frosted-sugar nebula,186Please respect copyright.PENANAzu5nHEzNzW
and was just about to return to the core observation platform186Please respect copyright.PENANAWqiEhGndGQ
when it suddenly noticed a patch of unusually bright grass.
It wasn’t ordinary grass, but—
“…seems a bit crowded?”
It paused and looked downward.
A group of Gugudong.
About twenty of them gathered around a trembling, glowing Gugudong in the center of the field — as if performing some sort of sacred ritual.
Although they usually wandered and bounced around in small, scattered groups, this kind of neat and silent gathering was something the One Above All had never seen before.
The Gugudong standing in the center had tiny glowing specks flickering above its head, as though releasing all its energy at full force.
Its body trembled slightly, cheeks flushed, looking extremely earnest.
The others formed a circle around it, their eyes sparkling as they watched — serious, solemn, and impossibly cute.186Please respect copyright.PENANAGyQM8AzlPj
Until—
In the middle, a Gugudong suddenly stopped and waved its tiny, stick-like forelimbs in panic, its expression flustered.
The surrounding Gugudong immediately became chaotic as well.
Some spun in circles, some stared at each other, and some hopped around with little “dong-dong-dong” jumps in confusion.186Please respect copyright.PENANAcEbKtU4vHm
The entire scene shifted from sacred and ceremonial to complete chaos.
The One Above All frowned.
Its voice descended directly into their minds.
“What happened?”
Silence.
They looked at each other.
Then, the Gugudong in the center bounced forward, pointed its tiny limbs at itself, and spoke quietly:
“Dong!”
The others nodded, and one by one they began demonstrating with gestures:
a small hole, energy, drawing, sudden, pop!—186Please respect copyright.PENANAW5wfon9vUj
After a frantic sequence of mime-like movements, they all pointed toward a small crack (Click to view) in the ground in the distance.
It was tiny, but undeniably real.
After explaining, they lowered their heads and lightly tapped their little limbs together —186Please respect copyright.PENANAVhMKlveqiT
like grade-schoolers who had accidentally broken the teacher’s vase.
The One Above All was silent for a moment.
Then spoke softly:
“…So be it.”
“If it cannot be mended at once… then leave it as it is for now.”
“Watch over it. Perhaps it, too, is part of destiny.”
No punishment, no scolding — only a gentle permission.
All the Gugudong looked up in surprise.
Then, in the next second, they exploded into joyful bouncing, hugging each other, spinning in circles, frolicking with excited little “dong-dong-dong” steps.
The One Above All laughed, letting its voice fall like soft air:
“You must have used up a great deal of energy just now.186Please respect copyright.PENANAYgfmxv5g3i
Go replenish yourselves—don’t hurt your little bodies.”
With that, it quietly departed.
Leaving behind only a group of deeply moved Gugudong.
They looked back toward the distant crack, their eyes shimmering with light.
Perhaps it wasn’t an accident, but a sign.
—Here, they would begin recording a new world.
It might not be perfect,186Please respect copyright.PENANABjESTCVrxP
but it would be honest.
