After trying to find my way out of this dusty old somewhat strong wagon and failing miserably,I sat there in silence as I contemplate about this unusual situation I am currently experiencing
'Why am I even here in the first place?, it just doesn't make any sense for me to even be here.' (Gallant)
Thinking about it for a few minutes I eventually came up with nothing, I had no explanation for this weird situation
'And that...person.' (Gallant)
Thinking back to my encounter with that person before I lost consciousness sent shivers down my spine, with my heart rate beating slightly faster than normal
'OK l-lets forget a-about that, I'm alive s-so that person lost in the end haha...ha..' (Gallant)
Cough*
Anyways after failing to come up with an answer to my situation, I returned my attention back towards the other people in the wagon, placing particular attention towards Willow being the first person to talk to me and actually try to strike up a conversation with me, I tried doing the same
"Uhm...M-Miss Willow.." (Gallant)
"!!!" (Miss Willow)
Calling out to her startled her a bit, from the way her green glowing figure reacted she was probably trying to hide her fear of the current situation by thinking of something else but I unfortunately distracted her thoughts which made me feel kind of bad so I instantly apologized
"Uh..s-sorry for s-startling you." (Gallant)
"Oh no no no i-ts fine I was just a bit absent minded there for a while so no w-worries." (Miss Willow)
Haha she seem like a scared little bunny right now, she reminds me of Emma...
'Wait...who's Emma?' (Gallant)
I don't know?, maybe someone from my past life?, I mean this has been somewhat bothering me ever since I reincarnated
While I can somewhat remember the world I used to live in and all of its customs but when it comes to my actual life everything is just a vage image, nothing more nothing less
'Why is that anyway?' (Gallant)
"Uhm..why are y-you crying...a-are you hurt?!" (Miss Willow)
"Huh?" (Gallant)
Tears....
Tears...
'I'm crying?' (Gallant)
Focusing my attention back outside I somewhat sensed Miss Willows worrying feelings directed towards me, she wasn't the only one though as all the other figures of people in the wagon were looking at me in somewhat similar emotions only a bit weaker than Miss Willow
While the children were just confused at sudden shift in mood
"Uh...s-sorry I j-just thought of...something d-don't worry about i-it.' (Gallant)
Wiping away the tears that suddenly flowed out of my eyes, I threw my previous thoughts of my past life into the back of my mind, as focusing on my current life will have to come first until I get stronger, only then can I peacefully think about the past
'Lets think about this at a later time.' (Gallant)
Anyways after this short pause I focused back on my initial intentions which was have a conversation with Miss Willow
"Miss Willow...uhm why are..you all here...if It not to much to a-ask?" (Gallant)
"Oh..no no it's ok I'll a-answer, it's really not a bother a-anyway.' (Miss Willow)
She seems nice
"W-well, you see, u-um...w-we....sigh* we all come from the some village which was situated in the Great Lunar forest." (Miss Willow)
I sensed the other figures around me nodding in agreement at her words and for some reason I could sense the mood suddenly shifted?
'A-Anyways, so they all belong to the same village huh?' (Gallant)
"What is the n-name of your v-village?" (Gallant)
"Oh! our village was named 'Star wood' which is in commemoration to a single tree that was found by our village elder the day he founded the village." (Miss Willow)
Miss Willow said with a small smile appearing on her glowing green figure
'Star wood?' (Gallant)
From the name alone it sounds like a really legendary tree or something...I really want to see...Uh! wait..right!...sense it yeah! I meant sense it...
"Star wood? what kind of tree Is that i-is it a magical living tree o-or does i-it have super r-rare medicinal properties?" (Gallant)
"Uh? Haha...well no...the t-tree doesn't have any o-of those haha..." (Miss Willow)
Miss Willow said overwhelmed by my sudden outburst
"Oh..." (Gallant)
I said sounding a bit disappointed at the trees' lack of appeal despite its cool sounding name

Wait...
I thought tilting my small head to the side, suddenly feeling as if something was wrong even though nothing was actually wrong...I think...
.....

'Wait!...why are my emotions suddenly jumping all over the place, is my mentality degrading, why can't control my emotions?!' (Gallant)
The thought of my mind degrading to the mentality of a child was not great at all
'Is young Gallants body affecting my mind?' (Gallant)
It sounded like the only possible answer to this anomaly, how would anything else just affect my sudden burst of emotions,
'But why is it suddenly showing signs now of all times?' (Gallant)
It was weird that my emotional outburst happened now of all times, as there were many opportunities for this type of reactions to happen back I'm the dungeon?
'Why...didn't it..happen though?' (Gallant)
Tap...
"!!!" (Gallant)
Bang!*
Something suddenly touched my right shoulder which caused me to slightly jerk back in fright bumping my head into the wall of the wagon, it was a reaction I normally wouldn't make if my mind was calm and focused, but my mind was anything but calm and focused right now
'Ugh...damn even a small bump to my head hurts!' (Gallant)
"Oh?...hehe I'm..s-sorry f-for startling you hehe...if I had known you would r-react like that I would have let you t-think a little m-more hehe..." (Miss Willow)
Miss Willow giggled a little as if she was trying to hold in her laughter
Whew*
'It was just Miss Willow.' (Gallant)
I thought while rubbing the back of my head to calm down the pain
With my senses back towards my surroundings I noticed that the other figures in wagon were struggling to hold their laughter in place to not seem rude
The children however had no such thought, meaning...
"Haha..." (children)
They were the first to fall...
With the children laughing to their hearts content Miss Willow and the adults couldn't hold their laughter any longer and just laughed out softly as we were still in a dire situation after all
"Hahaha..." (Miss Willow and Adults)
With laughter filling the wagon, the awful and depressing mood that had lacked any form of hope was gone, replacing it was a warm and somewhat joyful mood
Sensing this unconsciously brought a smile to my face, filling my heart with a warm soothing feeling
Wait...
'It...happened again...' (Gallant)
This time i sensed my shift in emotion better so I quickly tried coming up with a theory after noticing something that might have caused this sudden change
'It's the emotions I'm sensing from the people around that's affecting me!' (Gallant)
Although I have no way of really proving this theory I am definitely sure it's the right answer which means my {Enhanced Senses} skill not only enhanced my p-pain receptors by double the normal standards it also unfortunately enhanced my sense of emotion which means I'm....
Sigh*
'An empath.' (Gallant)
