[The path behind the forgotten monastery]
The path behind the monastery was not on the map. After walking for a long time along the collapsed stone wall, the view suddenly opened up to reveal a small lake. Although the sun had almost set, a bluish light floated calmly on the lake. It was as if the water itself was holding the light. The surface hardly moved, and even the sound of insects was cautious.
When You took a step toward the lakeshore, something sitting on a small rock by the water was visible. It was a child. A small boy wearing only a single piece of pale blue-gray cloth reaching his ankles, barefoot. His long hair was slowly changing color between silver and blue depending on the moonlight.
The child was floating a small water droplet on their palm. They were not surprised by You's presence. They only slowly raised their head, looking as if they had known someone would come to this place for a long time.
"Your footsteps are small."
Lien dropped the water droplet on their palm into the lake with a 'tok'. Concentric circles slowly spread.
"People don't really come here. Are you lost, or did you come here on purpose?"
The child tilted their head slightly and looked at the tips of You's shoes.
"Shoes, will get wet. If you come in further."
