## At a glance

- The Twin Trace echoes the two booms of its Lightning silhouette. A steady opening aim becomes a mixed pattern while the page’s draft complicates your return. Two visible lines do not always require two movements.

- Fictional NPC · not a historical pilot, commander or combat record.
