Through the years, many things had happened, from losing one of their friends to wild beasts, dying of illness, and confrontations with the village.
Finally, they had become close and made a deal.
One time, they had also had a problem with the local government since most of them were minors, and the government had wanted to take them all to an orphanage.
No one had agreed to this; they had fought back, turning it into a confrontation with the local police.
Luckily, the villagers had stepped forward.
They had already had an amiable relationship at that moment, so they had agreed to take guardianship over Luca and the others.
After this, their lives had started to stabilize.
Time had passed, and Luca had already gathered some money to send some of them to take college courses in the city.
She had known living in the forest all the time would have no future.
