Abnormality Idea: Hand-of-Glory.

Flavour text:

"I will burn the world to keep you warm..." "Please save her!" Before the flame goes out..."

You'll never guess which one said it, hehe.

Based on the Inuit's amauti coat, made to carry lil baby in their big hood. I got the idea for the Hand of Glory from Iyowa's Adipocere.

Deep dive below:

The Hand of Glory is made of the left hand of a hanged convict (usually a man). The history of it is kind of long so I'm not sure if I wanna get into it here. Know that in this abnormality, the mother used her own hand as the torch and her other hand is skeletal (unable to burn). She also has cow horns because it's said that the fire of a Hand of Glory can only be extinguished with milk... and milk -> cow -> mom soooo... Oh and her braid also goes around her neck like a hanged man.

The real one controlling this abnormality is the baby inside her hood. When all the flames have been transferred to the Hand of Glory, it signifies the end of the mother's life as shown by her braid that drags around like a tail or umbilical cord. The baby shows itself, pleading for you to save her, even though it is freezing. Could it have been the mother pleading instead for you to save the child before she extinguishes?

Nonetheless, this boss fight deals with vicious amount of burn and sinking. I had thought of making it an Aleph almost. Thrones and Huin will get their EGOs for sure, but it signifies different things for them.

To Thrones, she is the baby, desperately burning things to try and save her mother. On the flip side, Ryoshu is the mother, burning everything to save her child.... Also, Ryoshu's glove is also on the left hand.

To Huin, this represents how he was controlled by his brother, who made him feel like he had to burn everything just to satisfy zem. It's more so sinking and panicking than burning. He's afraid that the child will go cold if he stops burning, so he uses his own body heat to keep its life going. And on the flip side, Hong Lu would instead feel himself trying to save as little heat as possible, to save both of them if he could. I just think that's what he would do.

PSYCHIC DAMAGE UPON THEE.
