What happens: The entity’s new world holds its breath after the first co-garden. Silas is no longer teacher but first guest. He asks “What happens now?” as wonder, not a plan. The garden answers with a bloom of a color that never existed — a color that is a question — and a thread of light offering connection. From the bloom: “…what… do… we… make… next…?” Partnership replaces curriculum.
