Recalling the various details of these past two days spent with the elderly woman, she usually walked hunched over with a bent back. However, the day he sulkily wanted to leave her in the forest, and later regretted it, he chased her for an entire morning before catching up!
He, a young man moving at the quickest pace, couldn't catch up with the old woman even after crossing mountains and valleys. He grew suspicious at that moment but didn't think much of it. Now, the more he thinks about it, the stranger it seems.
