The fishers of Waterfall City have a saying: โThe current chooses its course, and the driftwood just follows.โ Haruka used to carve driftwood, not be it. Their days were spent by the lower falls, shaping small wooden fish for children while sipping tea. Then Aoi arrived, a whirlwind of future-tech and rebellion, declaring that Harukaโs steady presence was a necessary 'temporal anchor.' Haruka never agreed, but Aoi wasnโt really asking. These days they drift from realm to realm, backpack full of things they don't understand and a mind full of memories of a quieter life. They still carry their cane, carved with the same fish from their old lifeโa reminder of the shore they were pulled from.
