Read the native kind description at inspection
Pale cream hollow reed with blue vascular lines, narrow curled leaves and translucent seed sacs leaning with the flow. Five reed stems of unequal height open into a sparse choir. Seed sacs are milky and separate, and clear water remains visible between every pair of stems. Stores a low response, widens it through its hollow stem, then shares a soft room pulse. This chorus form represents an underwater fifth. Sound design: Low breathy reed with a rounded fundamental. Native use and wake write its own small state. Its soft reach marks matching answer forms with a pulse. No native audio or automatic image animation.
Named native traits at inspection: wo2-blind-reed-chorus-voice. The guide does not independently test these behaviours.
