Chimper #1152
The locals in the amber-leaved forest have a saying: the sweetest jam is boiled from the sourest fruit. It is how they explain Shirena, who arrived in a blur of motion and chose to stay for the quiet. To everyone, especially their love Kimisa, Shirena is the energetic messenger who believes any problem can be solved with a slice of cake. But no one sees them in the dead of night, pulling a damaged, silver lightspeed suit from beneath the floorboards. They didn't arrive here to deliver a message; they were escaping one. The shocked expression that sometimes clouds their face is a phantom of the moment their old life shattered. Shirena treasures the simple, sweet world theyโve built with Kimisa, and lives in quiet terror of the day their past arrives to burn it all down.
