Once fused with a cunning alien parasite gifted in predatory mimicry, Riku’s mind and body gained the power to analyze, replicate, and speak any language heard. The parasite’s instinct for survival rewired his motor functions, adapting his muscles and vocal cords to mimic every nuance—accent, cadence, even subtle emotional cues. It listens, learns, transforms—erasing barriers, blending into crowds, and unearthing secrets never meant for outsiders. What began as camouflage for the symbiont’s protection has become Riku’s ultimate edge, rendering him a ghost in any gathering and a dangerous polyglot in a world of secrets.
