"I would congratulate Eru on all of the horrifying species design things he could have done and didn't but I don't want to chance giving him ideas - what kind of monster invented humans -"

"Oh, Singularity has humans. They appeared spontaneously on Endorë midwar."

"Is that standard or did the Eru notice you and think 'what a lovely idea' -"

"Sort of unclear, but younger than the human species, more like six to ten thousand years."

"...weird."

"Guesses include that they began appearing when valid circles were first drawn."
