I realized this one doesn't need a write up since I kind of put this scene into the previous uploaded story! But it's a beautiful piece ;.;
This is something that  curse-m did while I was streaming Among Trees and talking about elements of science fiction that are often ignored or underutilized, something I'm shocked he did. The V2 Stormwave trying to reconnect with nature while its own, artificial, life clashes against the world. A real internalized struggle to be 'someone' instead of 'something'. Sometimes, all it takes is a moment of unexpected innocence to renew the fight and push you forward.

A little peace can save a soul.

And I just had to show it off. Because this painterly background, somewhat inspired by the art of Among Trees and just C being amazing, is something that stands out a lot. An early morning scene that just exudes some sort of pathos. I love it and it's been waiting a while to be shown, and now it has a story it's the prologue to and a bunch of words of praise since it stands on its own!

Seriously, C, it's great.

And that's my STormwave/V2 version!
