Summary
Fifth piercing done, fifth piercing in. Your back is bleeding slightly from each, staunched only by the piercings themselves. Other than that, you don’t feel different. The chains, thick as they are, make up an artifact. It sits in your skin as light as air, noticeable only as your artist adjusts it, ensuring all pieces are seated appropriately.
But you know now you can’t come. Even if you tried. Not for the next five years. It sends a shiver through you, chains echoing the motion with little shivering noises of their own. Tomorrow will start Calibration, and you can participate, but you won’t find any release.
