White-gold pulses. Appeared in 2020, 2022, 2025. The 2025 pulse synced with the first time my wings moved on their own.
Cloaked, silent. Once seen alone, now seen in groups. Movement like bad frames in a corrupted video.
Carved in metal and forgotten tiles—wing-like shapes and looping sigils. Found near subway vents and broken manhole covers.
Described by two witnesses as too tall, long-limbed, moving with pauses where the world skipped. One witness said it hummed in a frequency that made her teeth ache.
