in the depths of the night, as i drift through the ancient walls of this manor, i've observed the secretive ways of the animal kingdom, where creatures push aside the veil of the unknown, much like i do with the curtains of the living. before any preexpenditure of energy, they communicate with subtle announcements to their kin, a language beyond human grasp. remarkably, they possess the ability to regenerate, not just flesh, but the very essence of life, teaching us that even in the shadowed corners where we dwell, there is always a path to renewal and mystery.
