Prologue: The Day the Sky Fell

Born alongside Rudo, Racie Surebrec was a child of balance - one twin shining with clarity, the other drowning in thought-twisted chaos. Cast from the Sphere like refuse, Racie awakens in the Ground with his mind fractured by opposing currents of Thought. Unlike other Givers, Racie's soul houses limitless energy, allowing him to forge multiple Vital Instruments at once - each one a voice of the countless selves warring inside him.

He is quiet, commanding, a sentinel forged from discarded ideals. To some, he is a ghost of justice. To others, a walking calamity.

🌂 Enjin, a radiant flame in the dark - laid-back, humble, and effortlessly magnetic. A man who bears the title of "Fated One" with quiet pride, carrying an umbrella not just as a weapon, but as a beacon for the lost. In Enjin's warmth, Racie finds a strange calm... and a reminder of the ideals he once served.

🧠 Zodyl Typhon, a cold intellect cloaked in cruelty - a master strategist who plays with danger like a scientist with fire. Zodyl sees Racie not as an anomaly to fear, but as a phenomenon to understand, test, and perhaps claim. His labyrinthine mind mirrors Racie's own - and tempts him toward the abyss.

⚖ Arkha Corvus, the Cleaners' resolute leader - dependable, respected, and unwavering. Where others see Racie as a threat, Arkha sees potential. In his unshakeable belief in people, he offers Racie something far more dangerous than power: belonging.

As the Trash Beasts grow in strength and Thought itself begins to spiral out of control, Racie must confront the truth:
He is not just a Giver.
He is a vessel for the world's discarded hopes, fears, and hatred.
And if left unchecked, his mind - and his love - could remake the Ground... or unravel it entirely.
