To my people, he was the Ancestor. To me, he was a geological event.

When the Macro-Human first descended, he didn't land; he collided with our reality. His footstep was an earthquake that registered on every seismograph in the city. His breath was a hurricane that nearly leveled the District of Spires. For the first few hours, the city was in a state of absolute, paralyzed terror. We watched from our balconies as a shadow the size of a continent swept across our world, plunging us into a sudden, artificial night.

As the High Commissioner, my job was to ensure that the terror looked like "reverence."

"Look at his eyes!" I shouted into the city-wide broadcast, while secretly gripping the edge of my podium to keep from shaking. "See the depth of his wisdom! See the sorrow of a thousand generations!" I had to sell the image of a benevolent god, because the alternative was a city-wide panic that would have torn our society apart in minutes.

In reality, I was staring at a pore on his skin that was the size of a public plaza. I was terrified that he might sneeze and wipe out the entire administrative district. I spent my nights calculating the trajectory of his movements, treating him not as a person, but as a slow-moving natural disaster. Every time he shifted his weight, we held our breath, waiting for the world to end.

He tried to speak to us. His voice was a low-frequency rumble that shattered windows and made our internal organs vibrate. He spoke of "loneliness" and "civilization." I responded with carefully scripted platitudes, my voice modulated to sound welcoming while my mind was screaming for him to leave.

The tension peaked when he reached for the dome. For a second, the entire city held its breath. We weren't looking at a god; we were looking a finger that could crush a million lives without even feeling the resistance. The air grew heavy with the scent of ozone and ancient dust.

He didn't crush us. Instead, he wept.

A single tear fell from his eye, a translucent sphere of salt and water that crashed into the outskirts of the city. It didn't destroy us; it flooded the lower sectors, creating a temporary, shimmering lake that reflected the neon lights of our spires.

I stood on the balcony, watching the people swim in the Ancestor's grief. I felt a sudden, sharp pang of something that wasn't fear. It was a realization that the giant was just as terrified of us as we were of him. He was a mountain that wept, and for the first time, I wondered if the weight of being a giant was heavier than the fear of being small.
