What does a stone dream of when it has slept for a thousand years? This is the question that haunts Michou. For cycles, they were a simple guardian in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, listening to the patient hum of the unshakable monoliths. But one night, a vision rippled through them, an uninvited dream sent from the deep-river mind of Namazu. It was not a message of peace, but of a consciousness stirring within the very rocks Michou protectedโa memory not of the earth, but of stars falling and a silence that followed. The stones were not sleeping; they were waiting. The shock of that revelation never left their face. The Rock Chakra on their back, once a source of calm strength, now feels like an antenna, broadcasting a slow, alien thought.
