Jude and others always knew that the island was alive. But they never expected it to think they will abandon it after two years. The actual time they came after the island is just imaginary. Because they lost track of days a long time ago. As Jude and the others reflected on their decision to stay on the island indefinitely, they couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence and awe towards the land that had become their home. They had always sensed that the island possessed a certain vitality, a living essence that pulsed beneath its surface. But they had never imagined that it would possess such awareness, such a deep understanding of their intentions and desires.
