So, The Man In The Wall. The being of the void that Koko and the other children made a deal with, adrift in the nothingness all those years ago.

Even now, thousands if not millions of years away from those days, the Entity still does show their face to Koko. Such things as "linear time" meant nothing to the void, after all.

At times, they'd wear his face, still speaking in a mockery of his voice. A void born mirror of himself, empty eyed with voices from beyond the wall dripping from its tongue. A being seen only to him and perhaps those who could see beyond.

Other times, the Entity would speak through him. Pulling itself into his body though the void he had taken to save himself (to save them). Void tongue seeping from his lips, eyes hazy and unfocused from the void born gaze of The Man In The Wall.

He rarely fully realizes the void is speaking through him, in those instances, however. How deeply entwined he and the others are to that force of cosmic absurdity.

The Shadow

Something walks behind you, nipping at your heels. You know the shape it takes, though you cannot see it. You think you know. Its edges look like yours, but clean and concise, close-cut lines articulated into iridescent air. Turn around and catch it-- and it slides away. Your shadow shines and you are blinded. You half-hear it whispering words that stick to your skin like mist and evaporate under your gaze, but they shake you. Even their echoes are true. It knows you. It wears your skin. It is more you than you are. Are you the chaser? Are you the shadow? Which, really, were you rather be? Walk backwards if you must. You must keep looking back.

and yet i saw god staring back at me in the mirror, with the face of a child but the soul of a demon. epiphany came over me. the gods would not be the ones to punish us.

the children were.

// hm....actually i think i finally got some ideas swirling around for Koko's Ivara & like...her life before being turned into a warframe

just gonna ramble abt stuff under the cut:

born among the lower ranks of the orokin empire, mainly raised by her father, mother having left for the ranks (and profits) that the corpus held and promised.

just...generally dissatisfied with the near impossibility to rise above your lot in life that you had been born to, the inability to gain anything more than the golden lords allowed so as she grew older she became a thief

her, others, taking from those of higher status, breaking into places they would've never been allowed to even mop the floors of, stealing items they would've likely been glassed for had they ever been caught

for years, decades even, they never were and for her and those in her circle, it was a taste of a better life, a more comfortable life the empire would never allow them

in the end she...was eventually caught. her companions all turned to glass, consciousnesses turned to Cephalons as for her?

exposed to infestation, body mutating and reformed into a being of metal and infested flesh, a weapon of the empire, under their watchful, golden eyes.

Thinks about Koko and how he grew up with stories of old earth, of myths and gods from before humanity spread to the rest of the origin system. From before the golden lords arose from the ashes, claiming themselves as gods.

How when the jump failed, for a small, fleeting moment. Adrift in the void, in his desperation he prayed. He prayed and prayed to every single god his mother had told him of.

The response? Nothing. Perhaps the pleas of a child could not be heard from within the void, perhaps they were never real to begin with.

Perhaps the gods had abandoned the children of the Zariman, just as the golden lords had.

Who did hear them all, in the end. An entity of the wall, wearing his face, a grin too large to be right. A hand outstretched as his own voice, distorted by the entity echoed through the void.

❝  I can save them. All of them. But you have to want it.  ❞

He owes a debt to the Man In The Wall now, he still doesn't know what it wishes from him.

Koko (and the tenno in general) 🤝 Tartaglia g.enshin

fell into the depths of the world at a young age, adapted to and took in the powers of said depths to survive, re-emerged forever changed by the void/abyss and end up becoming weapons of war

also in Koko's case specifically: also both bow users

A soft voice whispered to himself, only barely recognizing it as his own. Or maybe it was the Man in the Wall...? He didn't really care enough to know right now.
