Dripping hands and wide eyes work quickly in darkness. An enormous steel fan screams a hundred feet up, sucking down dust and ash from the surface.
Loudspeakers begin to fire random, oscillating frequencies from all directions and flames flow along domed walls like ethereal, glowing water.
The fan slows and finally stops. The frequencies spiral from randomness into a fractal of sound; seemingly in response the flames swell and shake wildly, pressing in from all sides.
The two hands cease their dexterous attention to the object laying before them.
It is complete.
The flames grow white hot and are mirrored on the surface of those wide eyes.
Slowly the fan reverses and carries the boy and his shadowy object towards it.
Both are consumed by the fire until the ash that is left of them is cast into infinity.
