Low-Profile Cranial Shell

The face is a permanent broadcast. Some days you would like to stop transmitting. This is a physical barrier between the head and the great grey. The visor pre-shapes the horizon. The Chino cotton absorbs the shock of direct sun without the theatre of mirrored lenses. The metal buckle adjusts in silence — no plastic slip, no apology. The embossed sigil on the crown is a rubber compound that holds solar charge and releases it after dark. Vital energy, externalised. It is not decoration. It is a low-lumen signal to the cognoscenti and a quiet torch for the daily transit home. We are not vampires. We simply do not enjoy being interviewed by weather.
