No one can awaken for you... No book, no teacher, no god can open the eyes you yourself keep closed. This novel is a key, but the lock is in your hand. Open it. Or do not. That is, precisely, the ultimate test of your freedom: that you may ignore everything you have read, dismiss it as fiction, return to your life without asking yourself the fundamental question. The Codex will whisper in your ear: “It was only a novel. Forget it.” And you will have to choose. You always have to choose.
