Chimper #1948
In Waterfall City, every current has a purpose, from turning the great mill wheels to carrying fishing boats downstream. Narusa, however, spent their youth watching the spray catch the starlight, dreaming of currents that flowed between worlds. They were fascinated by tales of Aoi, the chimper who had seen the future, and their ambition was to follow that path. Yet, their peers only saw a dreamy trainee in an azure cap, staring at the sky. The turning point wasn't a grand vision, but the quiet click of a well-oiled gear hauling a fishing net from the roaring river. In that simple machine, Narusa saw the truth: the future wasn't just in the stars, but in understanding the world beneath their feet. They still train, but now they study the cityโs ancient mechanics with a secret intensity, believing that the path to tomorrow is built with the stones of today.
