He observes before he gets involved. It helps him notice what others miss—though waiting can have a cost.
Characters
Meet them along the way
The child, the elder, the climber, the artist: their choices and actions tell us who they are. Personal names belong to the antagonists or the forces they represent.
The twins
One calculates possible futures. The other draws them. We will learn their stories when the adventures need them.
The climber
An older girl who understands many problems through balance, movement, and action.
