:: TRANSCRIPT ::
🎙️ Intro (0:00–1:00)
(Distant rain. The soft clink of a flask being set down. Wind in cloth.)
*“Loose Arrow #19.
Found shelter inside a broken windmill. Half-roof, half memory.
One day since the last pursuit. Four arrows left.
I haven’t spoken in seventeen hours.Still not sure if that’s a tactic… or a wound.”*
🏹 Main Story / Memory (1:00–12:00)
“When the Order first trained us, they made us take a vow of silence.
Not permanent — just long enough to learn when words cost more than breath.We weren’t allowed to scream in training. Not even when they broke bone.
Just hold it.
Swallow it.Let pain be instruction. Let silence be strength.”
(pause)
“But the thing about silence is…
it grows.”“I kept a lot inside. I think we all did.
But there was one day…We were cleaning after a collapse in the northern tunnels. A recruit fell in. Crushed. Still alive — calling out.
And we all stood there.
Waiting.
Because protocol said to wait for clearance.”(long pause)
“He screamed for 6 minutes.
I never forgave the silence after minute 2.”
“I jumped in on minute 7.
Got pulled back.
Got punished.And no one talked about him again.”
💬 Reflection / Warning (12:00–16:00)
“Silence taught me more than words ever did.
It taught me who really listens.
Who watches the fall but won’t speak the name.
Who lets the story die because it’s inconvenient.”(bitter laugh)
“The Order loves silence.Not because it brings peace —
but because it buries the evidence.”“But I still hear that voice.
And I don’t care what it costs —
I will not let the next scream go unanswered.”
🕊️ Sign-Off (16:00–18:00)
(Thunder softens. She speaks with a hush like she’s afraid someone will hear — or hopes someone will.)
*“If you’re still holding onto your voice… keep it. Sharpen it.
Use it when it matters.Or when it hurts the most.”*
*“And if you hear someone in the dark…
don’t wait for permission.Jump.”*
“Loose Arrow out.”
