Epilogue: The Silent Curriculum
Across farms, alleys, barns, and courtyards, the pattern repeats. These beings do not hunt. They do not rage. They rehearse. They study. They learn.
They watch animals, water, fences, baskets, swings, trash, and us. They practice balance, silence, stillness. They copy breathing, posture, curiosity. They are not finished forms. They are learners.
