Imu Arrives Wounded Coughing And Bleeding Black

Status: pending · Technique: negative-space, prop-tell

The seed

The payoff

(Pending. Negative space: nothing on Elbaf has struck Imu yet, so the damage is the travel itself — or distance from the seat. Watch for: the endgame window where Imu is weakest = away from the throne.)

Earliest known caller

(Unfilled.)

Why this matters

A negative-space vulnerability tell on the series’ apex antagonist: the pleading Elders fear the departure, not the destination. Consistent with the place-bound-vessel implication of Imu Possessed Lily. Cross-link Five Elders True Nature, Pangaea Castle.
