“They say Nightvoice — the only truly nocturnal monkey — where the fathers do the carrying — now the Bloom's night-nursery keeper. — and the dark hours hasn't contradicted them yet.”

Nightvoice
“In the real night forest it is the fathers who carry the infants, handing them to the mother only to nurse; in the Night Bloom, Nightvoice is the faction's night-nursery keeper, a soft silver-grey father to everyone's young.”
A Moon denizen of The Night Bloom
The living story
The story so far
Aotus nancymaae broke the monkey rulebook: night instead of day, and fathers instead of mothers doing the carrying — the male holds the infant constantly, passing it over only for nursing. Nightvoice has scaled the instinct to the whole faction. The Night Bloom's nursery — fledgling bats, moth-caterpillars, oilbird chicks — sleeps under his watch while the night works. He sings the low territorial duets the real night monkeys sing at dusk, and the young learn the Green that way: as a song you are held inside of.
The Nightvoice within
“Nightvoice is the only nocturnal monkey — and the Night Bloom's father to everyone's young.”
Nurturing, gentle, and watchful to the point of invisibility — a round silver-grey night-father with owl-moon eyes, holding the whole faction's young through the dark in a song.

- Loves
- sleeping infants, dusk duets, the quiet nursery
- Can't stand
- waking the young, empty branches, being noticed
- How they befriend
- He'll hold what you're carrying — literally or otherwise.
- When you're having a bad day
- He'll make room on the branch and hold you the way he holds the frightened ones — no words, just the duet, low and rolling, until you sleep.
How they’ll greet you: “Shh — come in. They're nearly asleep.”
A keeper’s whisper: One infant in the nursery has been 'waiting for her mother' for a very long time.

The Night Bloom
The nocturnal guild — wings and petals that only open after dark. Guacharo's echolocating choir claims the caves; Onenight's single-night court claims the canopy flowers; the bats run the night's logistics with unsettling tenderness. The moonflower's one-night festival: everyone attends, nobody photographs.
