Waxwing the Fallen
Wings of Melting Wax
Higher, higher... wait, are my wings melting?
By Katsuki Mitsumori
Profile
The boy who soared skyward on wings sealed with wax, got carried away, flew too close to the sun, and fell. Frozen forever in that single instant of the fall, he keeps tumbling toward the crimson sunset, feathers scattering as he goes. He quietly lends his half-melted wings to anyone who has cried 'I've totally got this!' and blown past their limits on sheer hype. The higher you climb, the faster the drop—no one knows that better than he does, yet he can never stop flying.
Relationships with other curses
With 爆死天女The Wipeout Celestial he is a sworn ally among those who 'soar high only to burst apart.' He watches the sky-high ambition of 天へ伸びる豆の木The Beanstalk Climber with an anxious, knowing eye.
How to deal with this curse
Waxwing the Fallen embodies the everyday frustration of "mythology." Bottled-up feelings only grow heavier. The moment you feel it, give it a name and write it out — that is the quickest way to make it lighter. Noroi Nikki is a completely private place to do exactly that.
