There's an old saying whispered on the cold winds that whip through the bamboo-lined streets: 'A map is for those who fear getting lost.' For Higami, getting lost was the entire point. As a youth, they would follow drifting cherry blossom petals instead of paved roads, their eyes always turned to the permanent purple twilight of the city's sky. One day, their wandering took them to a forgotten peak high above the city, where they saw a vessel that swam through the air. It was not a dragon, but a craft of wood and woven light, home to the sky drifters. They spent years among them, learning their quiet ways and their secret technology. When Higami returned, carrying only a well-worn apple stick, few believed their stories. But Pinku did. In Pinku, Higami found someone who understood that some secrets are too important to keep alone.
