Comic Story
Panel 1
My whole life, I've felt this strange pull from the sky, like it wants to borrow me for a moment. But every time it gives me back, I feel a little more broken.
Panel 2
Bunbun, are you trying to re-landscape again? You know the squirrels get confused when you move their landmarks.
Panel 3
It’s not a landmark, Fixen, it’s a problem. What good is a power you can't even control?
Panel 4
Look there, Fixen, a new human. He doesn't have a loud stick, just a book and... cages.
Panel 5
He's not a hunter; he's a collector, which is worse. A hunter takes a life, but a collector takes a life's freedom.
Panel 6
He wants to capture the 'perfect specimens,' putting the forest under glass. But his obsession is his weakness; he only sees what's right in front of him.
Panel 7
You want me to use… the jump? On purpose?
Panel 8
He's so focused on your perfection as a specimen, he'll never think to look up. Now, Bunbun!
Panel 9
What is this foolishness? My equipment!
Panel 10
For the first time, I didn't feel like I was falling from the sky. I felt like I was borrowing its weight.
Panel 11
The ground shook with a power the collector could never catalogue. It was the sound of something wild refusing to be tamed.
Panel 12
He finally looked up. He didn't see a prize, but a protector.
Panel 13
He left without a single specimen. He took only his broken tools and a lesson he never intended to learn.
Panel 14
This power isn't a problem to be controlled, is it? It’s just… me.
