Chimper #788
On the night the spinning monoliths above the fortress went dark, Jinkurou was delivering a scroll to the lower labs. They felt the same soul-ripping energy that swallowed Inparusu whole, a cold pressure that promised power in exchange for everything they were. But where Inparusu was bound, Jinkurou fled. They did not run from the darkness, but through it, using the ensuing chaos and unnatural downpour as cover. They emerged into the rain-slicked dawn, scroll undelivered but with a new message seared into their mind. The lightspeed suit is not for efficiency; it is a promise to themself to always stay one step ahead of the silence that fell that night. Every drop of rain on their whiskers is a reminder of the storm they carry inside.
