Part 3 Wanda and Gaal’s exploration of the earth
Chapter 20
(Gaal, at parkside in Mauve City, Terminus, lost sight of her. Her jubilant figure beside the spring gushing from the earth overlapped with the meaning of “Edge of the Universe,” pondering deeply.)
“Indeed, at that moment, the entire small island was shining, and I saw Wanda enveloped in that light. I witnessed it. Since that moment, I noticed a sensation that had not been there before, perhaps a sensation that had always been there. It might be correct to say that I returned. After reuniting with Hummin, I was carried by a strong woman in a space wagon until I woke up. And now, at the moment I saw that girl, I saw a stronger light than when Wanda was enveloped. Surely, it must be the sister of the girl Wanda mentioned. I am gradually beginning to understand. Surely, Wanda and Stettin did not remain on Trantor just to take care of Hari! It must be some intervention by Hari and Hummin. Yes. I remembered the words what Wanda expressed unconsciously. ‘Edge of the Universe.’ Is it not Terminus? What is the reason for that? Is it perhaps implying that it should not be questioned any further?
More than that, I want to meet that girl, Bellis Seldon, again. And to hand over the three-colored cylinder entrusted to me by Wanda, the ‘Beni Sara Water’ named by Wanda.” (From “Gaal Dornick’s Diary upon Arrival at Terminus” by Dors Dornick)
