[X] <Shivers> Broken cogwheels spin ever round, heedless of the futility of their disconnected mechanisms. To blaze a trail is not to walk the path already trodden. Disregard the streets, the sunlight. Take to the alleys and hop the fences, follow the beating of that which some may call your heart as it echoes its sibling.
