The forest/ was not just a resting place for me. The dense wood and suffocating green were like the unfocused white walls of the closed ward. In addition, when I met something that was moving, I was overwhelmed by the fear of the moment, and my body shrank indefinitely. Fortunately, if it was a free gesture like a bird, not a wild animal, all my senses pursued it constantly as it flew away. "Take me with you, or I want to fly with you," he said, spitting out the infantile language, "and walked back on his way."

The ground wasn't just soil. The soil in the city's land is not the original soil, but the red dust, and here it is life itself. A vast and unimaginable boundless life, such as a sea that is not dare to be reckoned with by a man-made name, such as grass, fields, and flowers. Realizing that a pathetic creature like me could not step on and overcome, I froze. I apologized to those who were already under my feet and tried to go down to the lowest point. And in the end, I saw a universe that I had never been crazy before.

The bird returned to the house where he had left. I witnessed the moment when I sat gently on the tree. The tree bowed its head and lowered its branches as if to show respect, while at the same time he also fluttered his wings of gratitude. And on a long journey, he left his body to the tree and buried his head in the wings. The tree just stood by and accepted it as it is now, not the past, with no strings attached.
-
I'm passing by. I'm trying to remember everything that you rubbed against me. And finally, it will pass through here safely. We must not forget our journey of fighting in cold time and space, using our prior experience as a shield while respecting my epoke state for eight years. I will tie the fighter's duties tightly to my back and go out to the other side of the world using a cave-like forest as a tunnel. So one day you'll throw your whole body into the salty sea water where you can move your arms and legs freely.

The fighter in the forest/ past the silent forest/ into the sea-like forest
