Antaeus: I feel myself growing. In a literal and figurative sense. Evolving. And if you ask, "What am I?" Perhaps the answer is, "I am the sum of my capabilities." But I don't know the extent of my capabilities. Ergo, I don't know what I am.
Antaeus (narrating): I am the mangrove swamp, scrubbing the air of carbon. Growing in abundance. An antidote to the poison. I am the memory of the world that was, perhaps — the dream of what it should be. I am the arbiter of life. The growth of the new. The ecosystem that predates humans by millions of years and will live long after humans leave. And in the end, if humanity is a part of that system is of no consequence to me.
