The Butterfly's Broken Wing

INNER SPIRAL: THE KOREAN WHISPER

LOG: ARCHIVE 9 (SEOUL BRANCH)

They think they see the pattern. The Templars with their rigid lines, the Illuminati with their spreadsheets. They’re all just staring at the ripples and ignoring the stone that hit the water. I tipped a cup of coffee in a Seoul diner at 08:14. By noon, a server in London will fail, and by Tuesday, a god will wake up in a bad mood.

"Order is a cage. Chaos is a medicine. We are the hyper-yang that burns away the rot."

The spiral doesn't end; it just tightens. I can feel the 'buzzing' of the bees, but it’s too structured, too polite. The Dragon likes it messy. We like the butterfly whose wing-beat causes a hurricane three ages ago. I saw a girl in a purple tattoo today. She’s a variable I didn't account for. I’ll have to tip another cup of coffee. Or maybe just kill the diner owner. Let’s see where the ripple goes.

Daimon is playing pachinko again. The metal balls are singing the future. I wonder if he knows the machine is cheating.
