Several weeks later, the same flower bed is full of healthy new growth. Kai stands on the path looking down at it, quietly pleased rather than triumphant. Prop 01 — compost box remains nearby, ready for another cycle of leaves and scraps.

Weeks later, Kai looks quietly pleased at vigorous flowers growing in the compost-enriched east bed.
Acerca de este capítulo
Kai begins collecting fallen leaves, spent stems, and kitchen scraps in a simple compost box. At first the pile looks like a container for things that are finished. Over time, he sees heat, fungi, insects, and decomposition turn the discarded material into dark compost. When he feeds that compost back into the same flower beds, Kai realizes the garden does not divide the world neatly into useful and useless, living and dead. It keeps changing one into the other. The lesson is simple: an ending does not erase value, and worth is not the same thing as productivity.
