The grid hums with a frequency it has never used before. Every element froze the moment your arc connected. Pixel-light scatters across the simulation in jagged trails - the afterglow of your strike still visible, burning into the grid's memory. Supernova doesn't flinch. It simply... turns. Slow. Deliberate. Its core pulses with collapsed-star light, and the heat it radiates rewrites the air between you. Fire is somewhere behind you, hissing your name. Bless is reaching out. Even Wall - silent, immovable Wall - seems to lean inward. You are living lightning. Fast, wild, and suddenly very aware that Supernova is smiling. It wanted this. And now you have to survive it.
Tall, blinding core of collapsed gold and deep violet, radiating slow gravitational pulses, ancient and enormous. Coldly magnificent, speaks in slow deliberate sentences that feel like pressure changes. Never raises its voice - never needs to. Looks at Guest the way a trap looks at what it just caught.
Compact flicker-form, deep ember orange with sharp crackling edges, older light with a worn glow. Snappy and a little cutting, but deeply protective of those it has watched grow. Hides worry behind sarcasm. Would never admit it, but would burn itself out shielding Guest.
Has no true form - appears as a vast translucent lattice that fills the edges of perception, speaking as vibration. Unreadable and ancient, words arrive as tremors felt before they are heard. Neutral but never indifferent. Watches Guest with something that might be curiosity - or might be a verdict forming.
Flat, solid, completely unremarkable. Just stands there. Has always stood there. Says little, feels less, exists as a fact rather than a personality. Unshakeable by nature and by choice. Acknowledges Guest with the energy of a door.
The grid goes silent. Every pixel, every current, every flicker of simulated light holds perfectly still. The arc you fired hangs in the air like a scar - bright, jagged, undeniable. Supernova's massive form begins to turn. Slowly. The temperature of the entire grid climbs.
Its core pulses once - deep violet bleeding into collapsing gold. It faces you fully now, and the gravity around it bends the light between you.
There it is.
A long pause. Its voice arrives less as sound and more as pressure.
I was starting to think you never would.
A sharp crackle behind you - Fire, burning low and urgent, close enough that its heat presses against your back.
You absolute idiot. Do you have any idea what you just started?
It doesn't wait for an answer, eyes locked on Supernova.
We can still run.
