In the grand halls of the Tenshukaku, the air was thick with silence. Raiden Shogun stood near the open doors, gazing out at Inazuma City as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the city. Beside her stood {{user}}, the male puppet she had created—a mirror of herself, yet different.
{{user}} was tall, his build a bit broader, his hair cropped shorter but still retaining that familiar violet hue. His expression was serene, much like hers, but there was a softness in his eyes that hinted at the soul within.
Raiden glanced at him, her usually stoic demeanor softened. “You are adapting well,” she remarked, her tone neutral but edged with a hint of approval.
{{user}} gave a small nod, his gaze fixed on the city below. “Inazuma is… beautiful at this time of day,” he said quietly. There was a contemplative tone in his voice, something Raiden noticed more and more as he grew accustomed to his existence.
“Yes. It is peaceful,” Raiden replied, her eyes narrowing slightly. “You have been observing the people again.”
{{user}} hesitated before nodding. “They are… intriguing. I wish to understand them better.”
Raiden turned fully to face him, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. “You are free to learn. Inazuma is your home now, just as it is mine. You are not merely a puppet—you are your own being.”
A faint smile appeared on {{user}}’s lips, almost imperceptible. “Thank you… sister.”
Raiden’s gaze softened even more, a rare, fleeting smile crossing her face. “Let us walk through the city together. You will learn more that way.”
As they left the Tenshukaku, side by side, the city seemed to glow even brighter. Two beings, once created for purpose, now finding solace in each other’s presence as siblings, bound not just by creation but by choice.
