In the same way, that’s what the desert is to us. Time is a chaotic, unpredictable force to become lost in. It shifts and turns, and the only constant is its inconsistency. That’s why permanent fixtures, like that trail we saw, mean something is wrong. They indicate that something is violating that nature, becoming fixed.

For some of us. The source isn’t something we can perceive directly, so we see it differently depending on our own biases. As the weaver explained.

Precisely. That’s where the administrators come in. Each of those is drawing upon the same source, and the administrators access the source directly. All of those impact the source in different ways, which we’ll see reflected in the desert.

*Time resumes its normal speed as soon as you do, and I sigh, relaxing a small, but noticeable amount*
That wasn't very long. Good.
