DN-00001110 was created to extinguish. Not to kill. Not to destroy. But to neutralize flame—not physically, but conceptually. He carries no blade. His silhouette flickers where fire should burn.
Reports from internal protocol handlers describe feeling “cold” even while observing his file preview. He does not speak. He does not need to. Systems lower their brightness settings when he stands still.
The monk's flame dimmed as he entered the field. Not from fear, not from defeat— But because DN-00001110 does not recognize flame as real.
And what cannot be recognized... cannot be sustained.
