Hey, author here. I just wanted to give you a better idea of the overall theme of the story. This story is one of suffering and giving up. I try my best to go into detail on why we suffer and how it happens. However, what I mainly focused on, is to give people a reason to keep moving, to try again.

"There is water, it's just hard to see."

She pointed towards one of the fallen trees.

"Watch carefully, I will try to make it appear more visible."

The four-horned demon flicked her finger, sending out a slightly shimmering line of water. Despite its small size, it cleanly split past the wood, splitting the trunk into two.

"You used that tiny thing to just..."
