Chapter 3 - Chapter 2.1 – Appearances in Black

Before the story darkens, remember them as they were.

Vishnu (Age 23)

Height: 6'0"Build: Lean, defined, agileEyes: Steel grey – quiet, reflective, always watchingHair: Tousled black, often wind-messed, cut short with slightly uneven edgesSkin Tone: Pale olive, worn by stress and silence

Clothing:

A sleeveless black cotton overcoat, mid-thigh in length, high-collared, with hidden chakra-stitch patterns along the inner lining.A fitted slate-grey long-sleeve tunic underneath, simple and breathable.Slim black pants, suited for silent movement.Matte black combat shoes, scuffed but functional.

Aura: He walks with a silence that feels heavier than words, a presence that asks for nothing but speaks everything. His entire figure says, "Protector." But only those who look closer see the exhaustion.

Bhagya (Age 5)

Height: Small; barely reaches Vishnu's waistBuild: Delicate, light, soft-featuredEyes: Wide amber-gold, glimmering with fear, wonder, and too much innocenceHair: Shaggy black, childishly uneven, with bangs that brush his browsSkin Tone: Light beige, often dusty from wandering

Clothing:

A loose black cotton jacket, sleeves slightly too long, worn like a child's armor.A dark charcoal muffler, wrapped awkwardly around his neck — warm, fraying, probably tied by Vishnu.A plain black vest underneath the jacket.Baggy cotton pyjamas, soft and tied with a simple drawstring.Worn sandals or fabric shoes, the kind meant for comfort, not survival.

Aura: A quiet shadow beside a fading flame. Dressed for comfort, not for conflict. His entire being speaks of someone who hasn't yet been allowed to choose who he will become.

They were dressed in black not for mourning, but for the silence that comes between fate and truth.
