Acetic Break

To suffer the sudden unleashing of acetica is the true hallmark of childhood for all kit, and a sore memory for all adults.

It's the collarary to the easier puberty that kit go through. Sudden erections, night emissions, the first period; these are not problems at all.

What is a problem is the acetic break. When will it take place? Will it be dangerous? Will it be embarrassingly late? Horror of all horrors, will it not happen at all? Much superstition (an early break is bad luck), false associations (those who don't break are 'lesser' folk) and simple anxiety drives this event into a very emotional importance.

The break is a common topic for all gossip relating to kit, and is socially more important than the first kiss, first relationship, and first job.

Often it is the case that a true acetic break does not 'openly' happen. The phenomenon can be diluted into a particularly difficult week, a small number of events, or a single event that lacks the drama and power a traditional breaks feature.

Due to the wandering nature of kit at this age, it's been regularly accounted that even the most violent acetic breaks happen while the kit is alone, making the entire ordeal nothing but a story that the lonely nae must retell without supporting narration or evidence.
