"So, you've come to that conclusion as well," Bai Jingshen said. "Do you think it is possible?"
"I… I don't know," Alex said. "But since we're speaking hypothetically, yes."
Bai Jingshen grinned. "Are we?" he asked.
"We have to be. Otherwise, I don't see such a thing being possible at all," Alex said.
"We don't believe it is," Bai Jingshen said. "But you've seen the mural."
"The mural? What does this have to do with the mural?" Alex asked with a frown.
"We came up here so you would understand the mural better. I told you; you were getting a context to the mural that you couldn't by just seeing it," the White Tiger said.
Alex lowered his head in thought, his mind going back to the mural on the wall. He saw the figures again: the separate objects in a cluster, them gathering together, and then finally becoming a single whole thing.
The circle.
The sphere.
The planet.
Alex's mind reeled in thought, his eyes widening at the realization of what it could all mean.
