Every body remains part of the world — it decays, merges with the soil, and becomes a source of new life. Plants feed on it, absorb what remains, and give rise to what comes next.
But what emerges is never the same.
Each new form does not come from a single source, but from many. Matter constantly mixes, overlaps, and changes over time. With each cycle, these differences accumulate, and the world slowly drifts away from what it once was.
