Cosmos blooming and glowing in the darkness shine even brighter and ring out with tones when people stop nearby. That glow then spreads to the surrounding cosmos, which also sound their tones, continuing on in succession.
When light rushes in from far away, it means someone is over there. Visitors are likely to become more aware than usual of the other people sharing the same space.
