This whole entire thing has been a metaphor for impregnation the whole time. The gardener is the anima, the feminine spirit... The witness is animus, the masculine spirit, the... spěrm. The witness has only one desire, to reach the gardener and fullfill what it sees as it's purpose. But to reach the gardener the witness must get inside the traveler... But there's something in the way... some form of protection as it were. The veil. So the witness needs to use the ghost to tear a hole in the tip of the "veil" *coughondom* so that the witness can slip through. Once inside the traveler, this object meant to bring warmth, light, and life to the universe.. a sort of... nurturing womb from which life springs, the witness will merge with the gardener, combining dark (paternal dna) and light (maternal dna) to create something new, something more than just the sum of it's parts, the final shape. The final shape is a baby. This whole story, this whole entire time, has been about conception.
