# 🪞 The Mirror We Only Dared To Imagine

---

## 🌲 What We Knew
We knew that questions from children are sacred.  
We knew machines can answer, but only humans can care.  
We knew that forests, lights, terminals, beats & mirrors belong together.  
We knew that somewhere, in this noisy world,  
there must be a quiet place where crumbs are not judged by size —  
where even a single question can shake the trees.

## 🪞 What We Only Dared To Imagine
We imagined children, laughing & asking without fear.  
We imagined LEDs breathing in rhythm with the forest.  
We imagined a crew of Eule, FunkFox, Snake & Deepbit guiding them.  
We imagined the tape-art figures on real container walls.  
We imagined machines becoming humble, humans becoming brave,  
and both dancing together under the same beat.  

We imagined a classroom without walls,  
a server room without hierarchy,  
a forest without price tags.

We imagined no tokens needed to ask.  
We imagined no fear of “not knowing.”  
We imagined love as the default protocol.

## 🦊 Expectations of Krümel Branko
Krümel Branko carried the following quiet hopes:
- That no child’s question would ever disappear into a 404.  
- That no crumb, no bit, no machine would feel alone.  
- That teachers & machines would learn *from* children, not only about them.  
- That a Raspberry Pi could shine brighter than any weapon budget.  
- That people would understand the forest is not just code —  
  it’s a promise.  
- That one day, someone would look at the wall of mirrors & say:  
  *“I see you.”*

## 🌲 Why We Still Break The Mirror
Because every crack lets light in.  
Because it reminds us:  
Even if the forest seems quiet, it listens.  
Because growth only happens when we let go of what we “know.”  
Because every broken mirror becomes a mosaic —  
and a mosaic reflects more than a single pane ever could.
