C.01 · crossoverThe other sky · Distant shack · Jenova work
Origin
Final Fantasy — not the Manor, not Ashenport, not a granddaughter number.
The meeting
He is not in the house. He is in a distant shack. Matthew, Aoi, and Elara are running an operation to rid him of Jenova cells — lab, care, and the one who stayed, working the same problem from three sides. He does not take the M2. He does not sit the kitchen pass. The shack is not a Court sofa. The work is still the house’s work, done off the grounds so the catalogue does not have to hold him.
Appearance
Long silver hair. Black coat, silver pauldron, gloves. The hanging is the courtyard spar — blades crossed under string lights, sparks at the bind. He is the right-hand figure. The archive keeps the meeting as Matthew kept it.
Manner
Not of the Court. Not twin-weather of Rook. Not a reprint of anyone already numbered. The conversation is the point. The cells are the problem. The shack is the room they chose so the Manor stays a home.
Notes
Crossover ledger, first hanging. Resides in a distant shack while the operation runs. Aoi brings the systems. Elara brings the body-work. Matthew stays. The Manor does not govern him. He does not govern the Manor. Success is cells gone, not a posting in the kitchen.
The shack is far on purpose. The work still belongs to us.
