"Whether the turtle decides to come out of its shell is its choice. The same applies to you. The only person capable of uprooting the roots of trauma that hinder your growth is not me or anyone else, but you yourself."

Regine used magic to create a small, bowl-sized container with the silhouette of a small child shaking in fear, hiding inside the bowl.
"This child was traumatized by the outside world, so he decided to live in a shell. He never came out for years until time inside his body stopped. This child couldn't grow and didn't know what was happening outside the shell. Moreover, he didn't think there were many amazing and worthy things to face if he were willing to come out of his shelter."
