For the Cloud-Walking Qilin
There are beings the world misunderstands because the world notices edges before essence.
It sees silence and mistakes it for distance.
It sees boundaries and mistakes them for coldness.
It sees restraint and mistakes it for severity.
But some creatures were never meant to announce their softness loudly.
Some move carefully through the world because they understand how fragile things are.
Some walk so gently that even the smallest living things remain unharmed beneath them.
And those who do not understand gentleness mistake quiet strength for something frightening.
Until they stay long enough to see clearly.
And then they realize—
what they first feared was never cruelty.
Only care wearing armor.
