“Nobody says the name they almost gave.”
A Mist ape of The High Canopy
3 known connections · an open question
Four young ones left in the same season, from four troops, before any of them were named. The keepers do not know why. The troops do not speak of it — not the reason, not the almost-names.
Every morning, someone sweeps the empty branch at the grooming circle. No one is assigned. Someone always does it.
Kesi watches the high branches for a face she hasn't tasted yet. Some in the troop believe she is watching for this one.
“Zola counted four troops' young ones at morning roll-call and three at the evening count — no, four missing, one per troop, all unnamed, all gone between counts. Kavi tells it without an ending. Hush sings the lullaby still. Skye sings loudest for the empty branches. And every morning, someone sweeps them clean. No one is assigned. Someone always does it.”
Four left in one season. None were named.
The great apes, where the light lands first: chimpanzees who scheme, bonobos who forgive, gorillas who remember, orangutans who have seen everything twice. What happens up here decides what happens everywhere below.
