The tale of Little Puck serves as a reminder that true power comes not from external sources but from within, and that the pursuit of strength and wisdom should never come at the cost of one's soul.
Use steady, even pressure. Do not twist or jerk.
: Much of the tension in the series stems from the subversion of roles, where seemingly ordinary or submissive characters are transformed into dominant, calculating figures through the alien influence.
The puck is now a distorted sphere, stretched tight like a ripe fruit ready to burst, or a tick gorged on blood. It retains the name "puck," but it has lost the function. It can no longer slide. It can no longer impact. It can only sit, heavy and organic, a prisoner to the life it carries. The "little" in the name becomes ironic; the object is now bloated.
