Mamiya remembered the weight of Aki's blessing, a warmth that felt like amber sunlight settling on their shoulders. They were part of the song then, their charm a bright thread in the joyful tapestry of The Heart of the Forest. That was before the flash flood, when the outer rivers tore through the banks with a sudden, vicious roar. Mamiya, ever reliable, held the line against the torrent, but the current was stronger than their will. They awoke with a scar slicing across their face and an emptiness where a cherished friend's laughter used to be. The community, shattered by grief, cast them out. They wear that blame like their ragged jumper. These days, they sit by the riverbank, a solitary figure in a crimson cap, watching the water flow as if waiting for an apology.
