Day 2 — The Crystal Hermit Crab Matteo meets the guardian of the shallow tides: the Crystal Hermit Crab. Carrying a translucent mountain on its back, the creature moves through the water as if it were bearing a frozen piece of the sky. Matteo sits atop the crystal and notices that tiny shards break loose — each one holding a different kind of glow. When he touches one of the luminous fragments, he catches a distant reflection of the Philosophical Glow pulsing inside the stone. The crab does not speak — but it changes direction. Now the journey has a destination.
