Headway

1

Headway is a silent Partisan of Mistbury, a wooden puppet who moves and thinks at impossible speed. Unable to speak, he communicates through swift sign language, sharp expressions, and hurried notes, turning silence into clarity. Tasked with protecting the walled town from the monstrous Stringless, Headway stands apart, his strings hanging loose, moving by choice rather than command. In a world ruled by strings, he is proof that intention can be louder than any voice.
