"We've long since adapted to living without it, altering our practices and perspectives accordingly."

"You see, Aether is akin to a divine element, surpassing all but one entity; it served as our conduit to engage with the world around us, to issue commands, to make them comprehend our intentions in a language they could grasp."

"Consider this: everything around you pulses with life; Aether was once our linguistic bridge to that vitality. It endowed us with the ability to bend reality, bestowed us with what might be called superpowers. It facilitated a deeper understanding of ourselves and the cosmos."
