When fired the muzzle flash is a strange magenta, and the wounds left by this weapon glow with that same magenta. Any armor the target is wearing seems come apart at the seams with in a flash of yellow energy. If the armor is organic, it softens to the point of loosing it's protective qualities.
This gun used to be Josephine's trusty side arm she picked up after leaving the force, but it seems to have shifted to try to fulfill a different purpose. It's trigger feels heavier than usual, causing more difficulty than one would expect in actually firing it. The trigger only gets heavier when it's aiming at a human target. It seems Redemption has molded itself to Josephine's desires, and has dedicated itself to helping her grow beyond her roots as a police officer. The gun cannot speak but it has a mind of its own, and requires a connection to another sapient creature in order to sustain itself.

The gun came in a plain box. No ceremony. No key. Just a folded letter, yellowed at the edges, from a man Myles had barely known but never stopped resembling.
“Every man’s got one truth he can’t outrun. This one’s yours now.”
At first touch, it breathed. Just enough to make him freeze. Warm to the grip, heartbeat-soft under his thumb. Something alive. Something waiting. Something judging.
The whispers began soon after. Not voices—more like convictions, raw and righteous. It made the world sharper. Colder. Clearer. Every criminal face lit up in red. Every excuse sounded like a lie.
He knows what it does. He knows what it is. He’s felt it stretch his thoughts like wire pulled taut. He’s watched his hand hover too long over the trigger. He knows it’s warping him.
But he can’t let it die.
He’s never left it behind. Not once. Not for more than a handful of hours. Because if it’s gone too long, it wilts. The warmth fades. The breath slows. And when that happened once—just once—he held it all night in both hands like a man waiting at someone’s deathbed. By morning, it had come back.
And he told himself he wouldn’t let it happen again.
Because letting it die would mean admitting it mattered. That he’s bonded to it. That it’s not just a weapon—it’s a witness. One he keeps alive.
Every time he fires it, the world gets quieter. Cleaner. The bang, if he wants it, is thunder. But when he doesn’t—it’s nothing. And when a shot is fatal, the silence hangs like a velvet curtain over the corpse.
They never scream. Never beg. The gun doesn’t let them.
And Myles? He just holsters it again and keeps walking.
He doesn’t call it a curse anymore. He doesn’t call it anything.
But it always has the last word.
