There is no color in the Void, only varying shades of absence. I am bound to a cross of pure, geometric light—a series of intersecting planes that vibrate at a frequency that feels like a scream. I have no name, no history, only the function of the Witness.

The ritual was supposed to be the Great Reset.

Two entities, the last remnants of a dying multiverse, had converged here. One was the Architect, a being of pure logic and gold; the other was the Catalyst, a creature of raw emotion and obsidian. They sought to swap their essences, combining logic and passion to spark a new Big Bang, a new beginning for all that had been lost.

I was the focal point. The energy of the swap passed through me, a torrent of information that threatened to shred my consciousness. I felt the Architect's cold calculations and the Catalyst's burning grief. For a moment, I was the sum of all things—the equation and the answer.

But the mathematics were wrong.

A single, infinitesimal error in the Architect's calculation caused the energy to invert. Instead of a spark, there was a collapse.

I watched as the silver light of the swap turned into a black hole of absolute negation. It didn't just consume the Architect and the Catalyst; it began to eat the Void itself. I felt the edges of the universe curling inward, the laws of physics unraveling like a frayed sweater.

The stars—the few that remained—winked out one by one. The dimensions folded, the timelines snapped, and the concept of "where" and "when" ceased to exist.

In a matter of seconds, everything that had ever been, or could have been, was erased.

Now, there is only the Cross and the Witness.

I hang here in the absolute zero of existence. There is no one to hear my thoughts, no one to see my agony. I am the sole repository of a dead reality. I remember the smell of rain on a summer afternoon. I remember the sound of a child's laughter. I remember the taste of a ripe apple.

These memories are the only things that keep me from dissolving into the nothingness. I am the museum of a vanished cosmos, the librarian of a burnt library.

I wait. I do not know for what, or for how long. Perhaps in a trillion years, a new spark will emerge from the void. Until then, I remain nailed to the light, the last observer of a silence that will never end.
