Human

'Human' it says, in some weird translucent ink.\n\nYou feel like you shouldn't be able to read that ink.\n\nHow are you gonna go home? Should you build a spaceship? You stand there, not knowing what to do...\n\n[[Try to escape, by any means... Maybe the way out will be in one of these rooms.]]\n[[Someone out there must know how to help you, right?]]

''//'People generally don't remember my name. You do not need to, either... It wouldn't help much.'//''\n\n[[Well, you can accept that.]]\n[[You feel belittled.]]

''//'This is where we live.'//''\n\nIt's so far from Earth... You all definitely don't come from it.\n\n[[You feel a little hopeless.]]

Perfection would be a paradox of itself.\n\n''//'You will be sent to Earth, to prove yourself.\n\nWhenever you're ready, of course.\n\nFor now, you've done a good job.'//''\n\nThey bow down.\n\n''//'You're the first step of our hope.'//''\n\n[[You bow down too.]]

What is so good about being a human? There are so many flaws about it! You'd rather not be one. Not even if it's your purpose.\n\nBut... You guess that if it's your purpose, then you're not ready for it.\n\nIt seems to be true, because she seems a little upset.\n\n[[You're sorry.]]

That is definitely odd. It helps you draw some facts about your existence, though.\n\n''//'I'd advice you to try to find your purpose.\n\nI believe you can achieve good things.\n\nBoth from you, and for us.'''//\n\n[[That last bit seems suspicious.]]

Or that's what you think, anyway.\n\nYou don't have any set of instructions, but you know you have to get to God, right...\n\nSo, you get out of the room, and into the hallway.\n\nIt's such a big hallway, you already have the feeling you've been there before...\n\n[[The hallway is too big, don't bother exploring.]]

You look around trying to see if there is anyone in the room with you, but you don't see anyone... However, you get distracted by how beautiful the room appears to be. It's such a big room!

God, isn't it?\n\nOr something like that. You wonder if you could have a conversation with that voice.

You can't possibly be alone in this palace. It's obvious, because there are several rooms, and you don't //feel// alone. It all feels definitely real, too.\n\nThis hallway seems like it has no end.
