Dear Bonsai enthusiast,

I am seeking some advice on how to restyle this larch.
The top has recently been torn off, where one of my bigger plants fell over due to severe weather and certainly landed on the only tree within reach (lesson learned).

After cutting and cleaning, I am now not really sure on where to go.
As it is very unlikely that it will back bud in this location (even though this tree is still young) to rebuild the top, I am somewhat convinced, that working with the remaining lower parts and changing the style might work out.

With the bending of the trunk, I am tempted to bring the lowest branches into a semi cascading position and rebuild the top with the upper ones.
Grateful for any suggestions, thank you.

The top must have been quite tall before. It appears to have good proportions now so I'm not sure why you'd want to go taller again.
The new top branch might be a fraction too far forward but either wiring a bit more vertical or tilt the entire trunk backwards a little at next repot would correct that.
The other top branch is relatively strong so maybe reduce it further to restrain growth which should allow the new leader to take over apical duties.
 
Thank you @Shibui for your feedback.
The top was certainly too tall but was due to get reduced out of the growing season. Now the weather has done this and more for me.

I guess, having the old tree still and its former development in mind, one might get professionally blinkered, that's why I thought it might be a good idea to ask for advice before.
I will consider to get the branch into a better apical position to match the movement and go from there ...

There appears a small twig just above the cut paste. Develop into a new apex and bend branch beyond it downwards.☺️
 
I guess, having a pair of fresh eyes after some sleep helped too.
Was writing the initial post after the incident on weekend, but after posting find a solution straight away.
The movement of the trunk continues for my liking on the better side - rotating a bit when upon next repot will make it flowing again. Within some growing seasons, this will hopefully be less noticeable.

For now it is fine and the other plant is fixed for avoiding the hassle in severe weather.
How peculiar ...

Thank you @rashid365
It's exactly like that but luckily it could have been far worse with the crash.

I will leave the larch now as shown and will re-consider my options in winter/next spring again to see, if it stays an informal upright or rather going the cascade way.
