In each upcoming day, everyone on the Endless Sea witnessed the shimmer of the Black Sun—a false sunlight that permeated and enveloped the world. Behind the Creation of the World, the last lighthouse on this sea transmitted its brilliance to every corner of the Shelter, continuously for many days and nights.
People speculated about the origins of this "brilliance." Some speculated it was a sign of the world's further collapse, others guessed that it was some change occurring in the Creation of the World. The ultimate optimists believed it was the sunlight that would soon descend upon the earth again, while the ultimate pessimists believed it was time for all things to meet their end—but for many others... they paid no attention to this sunlight.
