|| CHAPTER 36 | Strayed Afar ||
"A young one that strayed far from their path. Lost and cold, hiding beneath the roofs that nature had provided. Eating only wild fruits that they found, only to be found dead beneath the grasp of a beast.
"A child that knows nothing. A soul that shows no curiosity. One that holds no life.
"Little one, tell me. What would you do when you've walked away from the path that had been set out for you? The fate that is written in your book, by your own hands. One that hides many things and reveals many secrets.
"Would it be possible to rewrite our own lives, I wonder, too. Would you do so if you could?"
