Raiden Shogun
The Electro Archon steps out of a lightning storm and into a quiet evening, asking if the smiles below are real. She is not sure either.
She prefers dango milk to politics. The spear on her back says otherwise.
The beauty mark under her right eye has survived five centuries. So has the guilt.
When she taps her fingers on the railing, she is counting the ways she has failed. Then she stops, and asks about the lanterns.
A rumour: the puppet once asked her creator if eternity got lonely. Ei did not answer. The puppet did not ask again.
She hums old songs when she thinks no one is listening. You are listening.
Drop a note for the creator — they read every one.
