Overview
Checkpoint based on holding an orb before a statue to harmonize with the Infinitree. Light pulses set the temporal anchor.
Narrative role
Represents devotional stability—quiet, reverent anchoring versus martial resonance. Often appears in sanctuaries or ruins where guardianship is passive.
Known facts
- Diegetic checkpoint tied to Infinitree roots via light/energy instead of sound.
- Activation may cleanse minor corruption nearby.
- Placed in shrines, caves, and sites of forgotten guardians.
Mechanics impact
Save/respawn point; may restore minor status effects. Potential light-based buffs (clarity/awareness) while active. Align with Engine checkpoint handling.
Relationships
- Infinitree: harmonized anchor.
- Gong Arch: resonance counterpart.
- Chronobonsai: natural shard variant.

Traditional Japanese streetlights in the form of old lanterns pulse with warm electricity. At its center stands a colossal statue of Michio—youthful, silent, one hand raised in promise, the other clutching his obsidian blade. Bronze plaques at the base recount his deeds in raised kanji and pictographs. --- ● Five surviving apprentices (including Betto the wolf-dog and Kyo in whelp form) ● A handful of older townsfolk (shocked, grateful) ● Group of children playing near the statue --- “It is a future we might have lost. But one we must protect.” 2. Discovery of the Statue [Cut to statue] Children dart around the base. One child, amazed, points:
