Through a window left open, a small observer keeps a record of something.

From another world called Apterium comes a small observer named Aptera, writing the world down one piece at a time, in fine detail — or rather, unable not to. And every passing thought goes in with it.

Not a field guide, not a natural history. Just the notes of Aptera — who can't help writing down what it sees — on the odd things it took an interest in. They were never meant for anyone. Write it all down, and the opinions and the grumbling simply come with it. We only glimpse them through the window.

The window is still open.

In another world called Apterium, there is a small observer named Aptera. They came to peer at Earth — and on the way out, forgot to close the window. They have, most likely, no idea.

Only information slips through the window. No voice, no matter, not even our presence reaches the other side. So all we can do is watch quietly, from inside a nested structure where the observer is being observed. Watched or not, Aptera's hand never stops. We only wait for the next page.

[APT-010]Mr. Valley[APT-014]little lily

[APT-010]The tea is ready. Please, before it goes cold.

[APT-014]Don't want it. ...Just leave it there.

[APT-010]Of course. ...I'll leave it. The steam will keep, I think, until the moment your hand decides to reach for it.

[APT-014]Let it keep, then. Steam never complains anyway.

[APT-010]No, it doesn't. ...I'm always kindest to the things that never complain. A bad habit of mine.

[APT-014]...I know.

[APT-014]Kind, and nothing else.

…awaiting the next intercept.
