One more thing I want to add. I know that you, as people, tend to take things personally, always trying to apply everything to yourselves — wondering how this relates to you, which side is more prominent in you, which is less, and what cycle you are currently in. Naturally, I take advantage of this tendency when presenting information, which is why I structured this novel in a first- person format — to make you immerse in it even more. Since you like to sink into things, this approach helps you absorb and experience the information better, which benefits both you and me. But what am I getting at? I can already assume that right now, once again, you are probably wondering what cycle is currently active. First, I want to caution you against making the mistake of thinking that if I am in the first or second cycle, then that means everyone else is in the same cycle. Now, we can clearly say that while some people are in the first or second cycle, others are in the third or fourth. More precisely, we can assume that humanity is now divided into two “camps.” There are four seasons, but while summer is beginning somewhere, day is breaking somewhere, in the opposite part, the opposite is happening. Do you understand? This means that while some are entering the second cycle, others are entering the fourth. Some are stepping into summer, while others are stepping into winter — exact opposites. The question is, who is on which side? Right now, for some, a bright time is beginning, a light cycle, while for others, a dark time, a dark cycle, is starting. And this is always the case. So, it’s not like all of humanity on Earth is in the same state. No. I would even say that everyone is always in one of four cycles. Not just two, as I initially divided, but if we dig deeper — four. And then, shifts occur, and everything transforms. Right now, some readers, as of today — November 12, 2024 — are in a bright cycle, while others are in a dark one, those who are opposite. And later, those who are now in the dark will move into the light, while those who are now in the light will enter the dark. How interesting. I kept wondering — am I the one doing this, or is something else at work? Why does this happen? But I am an observant boy, and that’s precisely why I’ve been keeping a diary since childhood. I was always curious why, from time to time—and I saw this very clearly — it seemed like my entire surroundings would fall away, and new ones would be drawn in. Then, those new ones would also disappear somewhere, while the old ones would return. And this cycle of change keeps repeating. And this same shift, this mood, this tuning —
