They never meant to change the world—only to open a small crack by accident. 181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGSZMREZf2
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,181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMNLoYevCW
and was just about to return to the core observation platform181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsMZPmdbQu
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.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28hjX1wYhu
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.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtw2DgA1w3
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!—181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIqgDI6ow1
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 —181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYcDkMFSHm
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.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuODxsn3kqK
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,181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dh8j9HaSt
but it would be honest.
