Long after the jellies left, the vine still couldn't understand.
'They had clearly seen everything, so why did they give their eyes to me?'
After receiving the jellies' eyes, the vine could also see the world's shifting synchronization rates.
'So, this is what the synchronization rate is...'
The synchronization rate of things was like different orbits.
Each thing had its own orbit, and they all moved along these orbits on unique trajectories.
Their different speeds created the differences between them.
The flow of time varied, and each thing experienced its passage differently.
Distances in space also varied. The same length was perceived differently by different things.
The trajectories of all things intertwined in a state of balance and harmony, each running on its own orbit without interfering with the others.
The moment the vine saw these trajectories, it understood how to leave the forest.
