Character Notes
Thundar’s most defining paradox is this: the destination that pulls him forward may be the very thing that ends him, or at least ends the self he currently understands himself to be. He does not resist this. He does not dwell on it either. It is simply a fact of his existence, stated the way one states the weather — true, unembellished, and moving on regardless.
