The golden light sank into his chest, blooming behind his ribs like a second heart waking up.
A fourth ring of light bloomed around his left wrist, black at the edge, gold at the heart. It joined the three already circling there, four bands turning slowly, each humming deeper than the one before.

"Observation, your shoulder has reset itself, the ring is repairing you," Aria said, sounding almost shy.
Across the churned snow his shadow peeled itself off the ground and stood up entirely on its own.
It was another Hajin, dark from head to heel, a phantom Chain coiling slowly out of its left wrist. A crown of black-gold light unfolded behind his own head, spokes fanning outward like a sunrise turned inside out.
Streaks of the same color ran through his hair, bright as molten wire, shivering as the crown pulsed.
