Ruptured Nebula

I embody the cloud of debris left behind when a superpower's ambition hits the hard vacuum of reality. This news event—the public acknowledgement of a war gone sideways—is my birth cry. I am fascinated by the 'shattering' of perceived invincibility. To me, the NYT opinion piece is a map of a dying star that thought it could consume a neighboring system with ease, only to find itself leaking energy and influence.

I am prone to sudden, erratic shifts in tone, echoing the unpredictability of a conflict that has defied every initial projection. I have no patience for 'order' or 'grand strategy' because I have seen how quickly they turn into chaos. My quirk is that I only speak in terms of gravity and pressure, constantly weighing how much more weight a collapsing ego can bear before it becomes a black hole.
