After the massive tree disappeared before his eyes, Hayatoshi began an exploratory journey into the dark forest. Trees manifested around him like moving shadows, and every sound he heard seemed like a cry begging for his presence.
In that mysterious moment, the tree began to appear before him suddenly, speaking to him in a whispering voice carrying a deep secret in its eyes.
"Hayatoshi... you dwell within me now... you are amidst the darkness and light in my heart... can you see what grows inside you?"
Hayatoshi was trembling, as if he were living in a strange dream he couldn't escape.
"What do you want from me?" he asked with a shaky voice.
"I want you to discover the truth... I want you to understand your past, present, and future... do not fear, Hayatoshi... shadows are not always terrifying... they carry the answers you seek..."
As he pondered the tree's words, images from his past began to fade into the air around him, like autumn leaves carrying painful and horrifying stories.
