*''Now, as Ara climbed down the mountain, she felt a gentle breeze.''
*''She needed to hurry before the sun completely sets, so she continued walking.''
*''Ara spoke, as she hurried her steps.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Still, I'm glad.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''... What do you mean?''
*''Ara stopped, catching her breath from climbing down a large boulder. There were lots of stones on the steep path, and the shadow cast from the trees made it harder to see.''
*''She walked a bit further, and responded quietly.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''That the holy spirit likes its new home.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''... When your mind is set, it takes effort to like something.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''I've left my home, and started on a journey. I was able to meet many new people.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Some didn't end well, but I'm sure I'll meet many people whom I will form lasting relationships.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''But... I thought, no matter where I go, it wouldn't be home.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''I think I'm similar to my brother that way. We should really hurry and track him down.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''... Then why do you waste your time with other things?''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Haha... At first, I thought it was related to demons.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''But even after I realized that wasn't the case, I still wanted to help. Not only was it hard to refuse Jen Che's request, but... The holy beast looked lonely.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''I wasn't good at making friends when I was little. I was shy and timid.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''I always hung out where other children around my age would play to make friends, yet whenever someone asked if I wanted to join, I would refuse.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''Why did you?''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''I'm not sure. Myabe I was embarrassed. Maybe I was scared they wouldn't like me... It's complicated. I guess I just couldn't make up my mind.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''That's why I thought maybe the spirit couldn't make up its mind eaither.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''In the end... I just felt like it. There's really no way of telling whether or not the spirit felt lonely.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''Your mind is the window in which you view the world. You see as much as your mind can perceive.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Then I should broaden my perspective. So I can see more.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''... Come to think of it, what do you think that curse was? It's good we were able to figure out it was a demonic curse, but I've never seen anything like it before.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''I thought I was finally getting used to fighting demons, but a curse that affects the mind of holy beasts...? Will we have to fight other beings as well from now on, and not just demons?''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''No use worrying about that now. There's no way to know what the future will bring.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''It's not easy as you say. I really wish you still had clairvoyance in times like these.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''Hmph. Even when I had my clairvoyance, humans never stopped worrying.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''They were pathetic, always worrying about worrying.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Then what should we do if we want tot stop worrying about worrying?''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''Same reason why your eyes are placed at the front. Look at what's right in front of you.''
*''(... GROOOWL.)''
*''That moment, Ara's stomach started growling loudly. Ara just couldn't help but smile in embarrassment.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''And eating is part of that. Look, I see light. We must be close to a village.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Oh! You're right! If we climbed the mountains in the morning, we might have missed it. I guess some things are more clear when it's dark.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''Just like that child who had a gift in seeing spirits, you must also have a gift.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''What gift?''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''A gift of filling your empty stomach. Seeing how you've found a village just in time, you are truly blessed.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Oh! What a useful gift. I like it.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun2}} '''Eun:''' ''I'm sure you do. Let's hurry. Any longer, and your first greeting will be said with your stomach instead of your mouth.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ara}} '''Ara:''' ''Yes, Eun!''
*''Ara ran toward the light. Even as she ran, her body felt light, and the wind was refreshing.''
*''In that moment when she ran towards the light, nothing seemed important. Not the demon's curse, nor the uncertain future ahead of her.''
