[ kaveh thinks, if this were him, what would he do? if this were a world where nothing needed to be built, if the concept of architecture hadn't been invented, if there were no materials to build with and the barrenness of the land stretched to all of eternity - would kaveh adapt to another craft and enjoy it? perhaps. but there would be a part of kaveh who would invent architecture from nothing. that's what it means to love something.

in a way, he thinks, he understands it. that primordial love. ]

I see. While merit is subjective, I think your passion for it is objective. The fact that it was and still is a part of you. We could debate the minutiae forever, but there's something fundamental about liking something that can't be explained. If I were in a world where architecture did not exist, I would invent the concept of it, just to feel whole again.

[ kaveh considers this. ] If given the chance, between going to another world, staying here, or going home, you would go home, then? If an end to this world ever came to pass.
