Tanishk, pushed to his limits during battle, loses control of the Pulseblade during a rescue mission, accidentally injuring an innocent. He locks himself away in guilt, terrified of what he's becoming. The group finds him days later in a forgotten shrine. Anuj tells him something simple, but powerful: "You don't need to be perfect to be trusted."
Tanishk confronts his deepest fear—that his power will never be stable. With the team's support, he retrains himself using emotion regulation techniques passed down from the Crimson Dawn. Eventually, he learns to sync the Pulseblade to his breathing, not just his heartbeat.
He reemerges not only stronger, but finally at peace with his instability. It's part of him—not a flaw, but a rhythm.
Akuzai sees the transformation and smiles, realizing each of them is healing in ways power alone could never offer.
