Kaneho

Kaneho has mapped every river from Waterfall City to the coast, yet their eyes hold the permanent surprise of someone seeing water for the first time. The fishers at the bottom of the falls claim Kaneho can read currents like a sacred text, but warn that meeting their gaze feels like being caught in an undertow. Merchants in the upper plaza, made rich by the routes Kaneho charted, trade rumors that they were nurtured by the reclusive Tamago. They whisper that Kaneho’s shock isn’t from trauma, but from awe—the constant, overwhelming realization of a world existing beyond the safety of an indestructible shell. To them, Kaneho isn't haunted; they're perpetually, breathtakingly awake.
