Chapter Summary: A lonely, freeing metamorphosis.
For a moment, they are wind.
They're where the sun shines and the shadows loom. That spring breeze.
They're a butterfly for longer, though. Kirby beams at the sight of them, amazed by the creature they've become but ignorant of the wind that watched him longer. When the pink boy slumbers, they stay. When he wakes, they fly.
Metamorphosing into a knight is something else entirely. Having engulfed the Temporal Warrior, they know they're on borrowed time. Yet when they swing their sword, they burn. For more. For forever.
But as soft as a song, they are wind yet again.
The title is based off of a lyric from Kikuo's "Don't Look At Me in That Way." The lyric is "For the first time, I became the wind, and my heart was broken by the wind..." The song is quite graphic and deals with heavy themes, so proceed with caution if you wish to take a listen.
I know technically the butterfly doesn't become wind after the defeat, but the feeling of losing is akin to that sort of sensation of air passing through you, as if you're nothing. The butterfly is really interesting, and I hope we get to see them in the next game.
See you next time, space cowboys!
