"All life forms, including me, a half-divine being, require blood for survival. Although I don't comprehend if it is the same for the gods, I still recognize the vital role blood plays in life," Ikem muttered unintentionally, unaware that he was speaking aloud, with Bara attentively listening.
"Wood signifies life for me, but how can I imbue wood with life?" Ikem recalled that Bara, at times, referred to himself as 'we'—a collective representation of small consciousness.
An audacious idea struck Ikem: "What if, through Bara, I could infuse life into wood?"
Hearing Ikem's words, Bara felt a profound clarity. Recollecting his initial encounter with Ikem and the peculiar connection thereafter, he realized, "This is my purpose."
Looking at Ikem with solemn determination, Bara spoke, "Let's do it, Ikem. Let's bring your dream of giving life to fruition."
