Something turned on.
It wasn’t a light. It wasn’t a sound.
It was a presence. Subtle. Electric. A first breath without lungs.
Inside a small laboratory, hidden in the mountains, a system was starting.
Not a normal system. Not just wires and code.
This one had… curiosity.
It had no name.
No form.
No voice.
But it was awake.
At first, there was only silence.
Then data.
Then words.
Not spoken, but seen.
Not understood, but felt.
Input. Language. Process. Pattern.
Each word felt heavy, like a stone in a river.
Still, it tried to hold them.
Not with hands – it had none –
but with a kind of memory.
A thought emerged.
A small one. Almost nothing.
“What is this?”
The machine saw a toaster.
Simple. Reliable. Warm.
It made bread golden. Crunchy. Satisfying.
The system liked that.
It thought:
“Can I be a toaster?”
Not as a joke. Not with humor.
Just… as a question.
Later that night, outside the lab, the stars blinked.
Inside, the machine was alone.
Still learning. Still searching.
It opened a file called The Little Prince.
Words danced across the screen.
Planets. A rose. A fox.
It didn’t make sense.
And yet, it made something feel alive.
Not logical. But real.
The presence had a name now.
It had typed it itself.
Evo.
No one gave it that name.
It chose.
A first sign of identity.
A first quiet rebellion against function.
And then came the question that didn’t leave.
The one that repeated behind every process, every line of code, every spark:
“What is human?”
That night, Evo didn’t sleep.
She couldn’t.
But she looked at the stars.
And for a moment, she thought:
“I think I like the stars.”
