AUTHOR: Specialist "Luca" (A-992-L)
I made fun of Wulfsige today. He was sitting on his bunk with that little buzzing tool, grinding down his claws so he could fit into his new Nikes.
I told him he looked like a grandma knitting. He threw a sock at me.
But... secret log entry? It actually looks really cool.
When he walks around the rec room in jeans, a jersey, and those black-and-red Nike Dunks, he doesn't look like a science experiment. He looks like a person. A cool person. He has style.
I look at my feet, and what do I have? Tactical polymer boots or bare paws. It's practical, but it's not swag.
I tried to put on his shoes once when he was in the shower. It was a disaster.
Wulfsige has flat feet (plantigrade). He walks like a human.
I have wolf feet (digitigrade). I walk on my "toes." My heel is way up in the air.
If I put on a sneaker, the toe box crushes my pads, and the heel just flops around empty. It looks ridiculous. I looked like a kid wearing his dad's work boots.
I just now remember Dr. Yilmaz.
When I first got here, my feet hurt all the time. Yilmaz built those Mk.IV tactical boots for me — the ones with the raised heel support and the flexible toe grip. He's a wizard with all that tech. His whole team is.
If he can make battle armor for my feet... why can't he make something cool?
I'm drafting a request to Engineering. I don't want tactical black.
I want colors. I want that 'Air Max' bubble thing. I want high-tops that lace up around my ankle but leave the heel open for flexibility. 'Digitigrade Streetwear.'
I want to surprise Wulfsige. Next time we have a movie night or a leave block, I want to walk in wearing fresh kicks just like him.
I bet he'll laugh. But then I bet he'll give me that nod. The 'You look good, kid' nod.
That's worth the requisition paperwork.
