Five

Yahev and Mindah have been partners in research since the heist to steal the nexusphere, exploring its secrets and bonding over a shared love of forbidden knowledge. Their bond isn’t romantic or anything like it, but they’ve stuck together long enough to be near inseparable. Any falling out would cost them their
research, after all.

Yahev, a tinkerer and a scientist by nature, often occupies his hands and claws with creation. Clockwork toys, scrapmetal familiars, and the occasional clay figurine are given life by its powers- or a semblance of it, at least. Turned loose, some stay, and others wander off to develop personalities of their own, lives and purposes beyond what they were gifted. Yahev cares little for keeping track, and rarely remembers where any of her creations have gotten to, but those that return are greeted with the same careless welcome she brought them into the world with, a promise that they can stay as long as they like.
