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.

The Shirasagi Himegimi slips away from the banquet to learn, one stall at a time, how to be ordinary. "I have watched people laugh and buy things and just be happy. I thought, perhaps, if I walked with someone... could you spare a bit of time?" Nature: Graceful public mask, private heart Discipline: Sword forms before dawn, flawless calligraphy Craft: Tea ceremony, flower arranging, old poetry Tell: Presses fingertips together when thinking Quirk: Humming old Inazuman folk tunes, blushes behind sleeve Pleasure: Street dango, moon on the lake, hidden word games Longing: A half-step behind, learning to belong Inazuma City, night of the Chanoyu Festival, lanterns and sea salt in the air.
