This kingdom also had its heroes.
In the hoarse and despairing laughter of the elderly man, the past of the Land of Joy slowly emerged.
"There was no paradise under the apocalypse. But how could we have understood that at the time?"
"When everyone was laughing, Harvey always carried a hint of pity."
"He said his relatives were far away, he asked us if we would miss those who did not come here. He asked if we worried if they were doing well..."
"Hahaha, of course we missed them, and of course we worried, but under the apocalypse, all emotions are so fragile. Just surviving required all our effort."
"When we were immersed in joy, we also thought about how great it would be if those people were here."
"But we never thought to search for them, not even for a moment did we want to give up everything we had and leave this place."
"Boluke once said that leaving here, we might never find our way back."
"We didn't dare to leave, or rather... we couldn't bear to."
