It had been aware for a while before something struck it. There was something missing. While its care-giver was loving and singularly attentive, there was something it needed. It took the little being a long time to figure out what was missing.
The light above its resting place was always bright but there were times when its care-giver spoke of your other creator that the light would dim and almost flicker. As it watched this flickering, it could almost feel it reaching out far from its care-giver.
That was how it figured out that it wasn't something but rather someone. The one that light reached out for was far away and it made its care-giver sad, which caused the light to flicker.
Silently, it watched and when the light would flicker, it would kick and stretch trying to distract the care-giver from the one who was missing.
