【Phantom’s Lament】Mostima: The Blues Poet at the End of Time – Nekocos Arknights High-Quality Cosplay
🎼 Prologue: When Time and Music Intertwine – Mostima’s "Phantom’s Lament"
"Close your eyes. Imagine you’ve arrived at the end of time, where there’s no one left—only the sun, the moon, and musical instruments."
In Arknights, Mostima isn’t just a fallen angel controlling the Black Lock and White Key—she’s also a solitary messenger wandering through the gaps in time. Her Phantom’s Lament skin elevates her mysterious aura to new heights with its deep blue gown, silver musical notes, and flowing temporal patterns, like an endless blues concert 🎵.
Today, Nekocos takes you deep into the story of this "Observer of Time", from her lore and combat performance to skin details, culminating in our highly accurate cosplay costume! (✧ω✧)

"The decree’s authority is absolute. The moment she aimed her gun at her own kind, her fate was sealed."
