She Found What She Had Sacrificed

Katie saw herself in the forest she knew so well. This forest was behind the hut of her house in Louisiana.

Why is she here? When did she return to America?

"Katie! Katie!"

Katie turned to the owner of the voice calling to her. The red-haired boy ran closer to her.

Is she dreaming?

"Hey, don't yell! You're disturbing its sleep."

"It's not asleep."

"Ssssstttt!"

Katie saw herself as a child squatting while stroking the injured bird's feathers.

Katie smiled warmly as she recalled this incident. At that time, they were playing by the river and saw the little bird falling from their nests.

Katie promptly took the poor thing and took care of it.

The next scene changed, and now the two kids played stacking pebbles. Little Katie found a tiny ladybug near her feet. She caught it and showed it to the boy.
