Immediately after Uncle Jo took Alph away with him, a voice sounded and it was not from Teren, the only person in the surroundings.
"You are here..."
"You know me?"
Teren first asked without getting surprised. But behind that indifferent face, he was actually apprehensive.
"How would I not...?"
"Then, do you also know why I'm here?"
"... not to kill me."
Teren sighed in relieved and nodded, "Yes, not to kill me."
"Because you... can't..."
"I will not prove I can. I have some questions. A lot of them."
"No... I do not answer..."
Teren frowned at this. He doesn't understand what the tree just said.
As if sensing his puzzlement, the tree continued in a mystical voice that doesn't seem like a human can voice. It's as if it was digitally edited first as it gently echoed.
"I say... what I need to say..."
"Then... say it." Teren patiently replied.
"But I have nothing... to say to you..."
