Kumehiko

Kumehiko raced across the moonlit training grounds of The Dojo, the message in their pouch more precious than any imperial decree. It held a simple sketch of a flower, drawn by a calligrapher who worked by the lake’s edge. Years ago, they charted new worlds with Roketto, their lightspeed suit a necessity for surviving the hostile atmospheres of barren planets. It was there they met someone who made them want to slow down. The glowing lantern they wear is a promise they made on a world with no sun—a beacon to always find their way back. These days, their journeys are shorter, but the stakes feel infinitely higher. Each delivery is a conversation, each return a reunion.
