[... Of course it is.

For a moment... Hayame forgets that she has spent hours stumbling blind and bloody through the forests of Alenroux. She forgets the pain that had been so all consuming, the exhaustion that keeps her from advancing easily now, and instead-

She feels that familiar, bitter taste in her mouth. In this world... Unlike Horos, when she had felt like truly the only creature there alive that did not wear a human-like body, there are other races in Kenos. There are even people who she thought might be jinba.

But they weren't. They called themselves "centaurs" or "the folk", they came from just as many strange worlds as the rest and so she... Where it matters most, she is still alone. So of course she pushes the boundaries of her strength, like she had to get out of the wood in the first place, her limbs shaking as she tries to move forward, ever onward toward the Tree.]


... Congratulations.

[- Tries. She doesn't get far before her shaky knees start to buckle, and she has to lock them and arrest her progress or risk another stumble into the ground.]
