It seems as if… they were galaxies apart.

"Who are you? Why are you trapped here? How can I help?" Chu Yu blurted out.

But life was full of surprises.

Surprises that make life interesting and entertaining.

Did he really leave?

Chu Yu had his qualms.

"Walking three hundred steps for me was already an amazing feat to accomplish!"

The statue continued.
