Last night, or more precisely it should be early this morning, Qiuya finally escaped from the underground world of Yuzheim. After climbing the difficult stairs above the tree roots, the frustrating conclusion was that the entrance led to the streets around Luban City. The huge tree hole that opened above the tree roots closed up within seconds, clearly showing no sign of reopening.

The noise of the streets, the smell of the air, and the color of her skin had changed, but the pain piercing deep into her heart hadn't disappeared. She lowered her head, letting the pain turn into liquid and shed from the corners of her eyes.
