Domus Crystalli · Scene II · Dawn

The Breath of the Stone

The happiness frequency opens the scene. Nell sings to the five carved columns at dawn, and on “I sing the Dome — and it answers” one of them bows to her. Below the plaza, unseen by Nell, the Daughters hang asleep and sing The Crystal Geometry. Then the glitch, and Nell, back in the plaza, alone in hearing it.
