#sforzando

But she spent seven years soloing a cognitohazard that could have easily ended the universe and she didn't crack under the pressure until she ended up in a lesbian situationship, which, you know, understandable.

Thinking about the HARM Assault. Thinking about THAT scene and everything up to that.

The elevator ride fight. Where Sforzando let's the mask slip a little and live DJs the whole thing. It's awesome. Treble was right. Compared to that the music she produces for the band does sound lifeless. Because it wasn't her real music. Penny was a disguise.

Her journal makes it clear she genuinely liked Beat. That was kinda down bad for her. I mean that entire bartender sequence? Come on. What did she feel in that moment? When Beat stepped off the elevator and said she was a sick DJ. Beat who's entire life is music. She must have been ecstatic. To be seen. Appreciated.

Then there's the reveal. When she finally drops the entire disguise. She enthusiastically tears of her mask. She's giddy about the whole thing. She wanted Beat to see her so bad. It must have been torture being Penny.

The excess energy of Teijru, and all fervals in general, is known as "fervor." Often displaying properties of fire and electricity, it typically clings close to most fervals and can be manipulated via extrasensory abilities. If all the fervor is forced within the ferval's body, it can lead to the inner workings of the body going much faster. This allows the ferval to become stronger and faster, and can help the body heal significant wounds in seconds. But this can stress the body when used for prolonged periods of time, potentially leading to hyperventilation, seizures, and heart and/or brain damage, among other things. This is officially referred to as self-induced hyperfervor; to some, it's called an Infernal State.
