• made a religion out of needles, knives, and silence

Taya Morimoto was raised on restless sidewalks and fluorescent nights. She grew up in the hum of a city that never forgave slowness, a daughter of immigrants who believed in hard work and clean hands. But her hands never stayed clean for long. She carved rebellion into them instead. Ink, blood, silver. She learned that pain could be transformed into beauty if you pressed hard enough. Her life was a gallery of sharp things: tattoo needles, cigarettes, knives, silence.

She was not a soft child. By the time she was seventeen, she knew how to make people flinch with nothing but a look. By twenty, her name was passed in whispers between strangers who wanted her ink carved into their skin. By twenty-five, she thought she was invincible. By thirty, the world ended and reminded her otherwise.

Her brother was the first lesson. He went quickly, and badly, and she did the thing no sister should have to do: she kept him from rising. Her parents were the second lesson. They were slower. They were heavier. She carried them through wrecked streets, across broken highways, while everything behind them turned red and rotten. She didn’t complain, because there wasn’t anyone left to listen.

Hollowstead came like an accident, or maybe a punishment, or maybe a reprieve. She became one of its wolves, teeth and knives on the borderlands. She earned her name
