Shockeye and Varl clash over Arana's corpse
Arana’s white walking stick initially serves as a mobility aid and devotional aide in her quiet ritual, its polished surface and fitting grip familiar to her frail hands. After she inadvertently hits Shockeye’s foot with it, it becomes an accidental catalyst for violence—knocking against his flesh like an unheard greeting. The cane is then jolted from her grip and abandoned on the tiled floor as she falls, its functional role reduced from support to a silent witness to the assault.
Before:
In Arana’s possession, polished, erect, functioning as a mobility aid and ritual accessory. Located near her hand as she moves toward the altar.
After:
Abandoned on the floor after being struck away, dislodged during the violent scuffle, no longer of immediate use.
